Do they? Has there been any case where the FBI investigated the "illegal" use of an open-source library/software in another closed-source software, where the license of the open-source one dictates that both should be open? I doubt it, unless I missed the news, or perhaps according to the FBI, writing software doesn't count as "creative work."
