Why would closed source software be safe? Say I copy shared-mime-info completely, compile it, sell it to you as MimeWizardPRO2000, you include it as part of your closed source web framework and sell that. You're still distributing GPL code without making your source available.

I think it's different if you are re-using source (with GPL notices) or binaries (which don't have them)
