Yes, copyleft violations increased, and often gotten also quite brass and arrogant in the last decade or so.

> I know several programmers working at multi million/billion dollar companies who use GPL/AGPL libraries within completely closed source codebases. Some of these products are shipped as DLLs/binaries rather than hidden behind web services, and even still, nothing has ever come out of it as far as license enforcement. Your company’s legal department will not look for these things proactively.

There are companies (e.g., those producing mainly FOSS themselves) and organizations who do care, for example the SFC: https://sfconservancy.org/copyleft-compliance/enforcement-st...

You can also allow them to pursue violations on your, or a project, behalf: https://sfconservancy.org/copyleft-compliance/

Even if it may sound naïve, I still hope & believe they take all those proprietary leeches down, ideally bleeding those out, that still not want to comply.
