I don't really know if the copyright holder has the right to ask how the covered works were used, I suppose it is usually solved with a polite request.
I didn't mean anything so formal, OK? But once it is known that a product uses free software, the owners can make sure that their license is being complied with. Maybe posting on LWN is not the best way, but asking "where is the source code" seems legitimate enough.
