Actually, just asking for the software (binary or source) is enough.
They don't need to give it to _you_, if another third party has
already acquired the binary or source (containing GPL code).

Until the first public or _private_ release (binary or source) to a
third party, modifications to GPL code can be kept private, but once
any release of the code (binary or source) occurs, the full conditions
of the GPL must be met.
