Not so much that they'll secretly take GPL'd code, but they'll just dump it in without telling you and then 2 years later when somebody finds it in your widget, it's a major pita figuring out what's happening.

This is far likely to be done by someone with little or no open source experience. Anybody who has worked with open source code knows the basic difference between GPL, LGPL and MIT/BSD and what you can and can't do with the code. Someone who hasn't worked with open source software is far more likely to go blindly assume that "open source" means I can copy and paste this any way I want.
