Sure they can. Because what are you going to do financially ruin yourself in a lawsuit you’re going to lose against Microsoft or some other mega Corp who doesn’t give a shit about GPL licencing?
If it’s not enforced with teeth then it doesn’t matter anymore.
Stick to the GPL licensencing of your code whenever possible and the garbage EEE can’t subdue you. (Embrace extend exthinguish.)
If they plagiarize it they kinda ow you the honor.
Hower, plagiarism is still plagiarism, so you better actually write some of your code by hand.

The GPL was written using the very same law language and methods that the mega Corps are now days trying to enforce against us.
It’s kind of ironic.
