Inside open source communities maybe. In the corporate world? Absolutely not. Ever. They will take your open source code and do what they want with it, always have.

This varies. The lawyers for risk-adverse companies will make sure they follow the licenses. There are auditing tools to make sure you're not pulling in code you shouldn't. An example is Google's go-licenses command [1].

But you can be sure that even the risk-adverse companies are going to go by what the license says, rather than "community norms."

Other companies are more careless.

It’s a fair point that ai training makes enforcing licences more difficult than other situations. My point is that licence issues like this this aren’t really a technology issue it’s a company greed/legal issue because it’s always been the case.
