It depends on what is covered by the LGPL and how they're using it. If they are linking to an LGPLed library but have not incorporated the code directly into their program, then the complete program itself does not fall under the LGPL and they are under no obligation to release the source. However, they would be required to provide the source to the LGPLed library.
