Thanks for clarifying that. I'm also definitely referring to the software that companies ship that is not meant to be open source. GPLv2 is mostly safe as long as you don't link to it (Unless its LGPL and you dynamically link). Try and find a single major corporation in the world that is willing to bind it's proprietary intellectual property to GPLv3. It's a tribute, honestly, to that license that most companies realize that they have to go all-in on open-source (at which point GPLv3 is fine)
