If we want to include something about this, I think it means 'modifying copyleft open source code' instead. Snippet code scanners would not flag original code inserted in an open source code file.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
I've changed the heading to "Unplanned Inclusion of proprietary code/modifications of copyleft open source". I feel like this completes the set of things that could happen with copyleft.
I think this could be caught by a "scanner" - just not necessarily today's snippet scanners nor directly indicated as such. For example, a tool should flag that component X version Y is not 100% the same as the stock/library/previously analysed component.
