No they aren't.

Sure they are. If somebody has a proprietary product that they happened to organize as a fork of an open source base at some point, it is exposed. The git organization aside, that is a very common business model.

  • Companies may think that their proprietary code being leaked is a serious threat to their business but that is almost never the case. No one is going to care about your shitty codebase.
