Both the lower management and the engineers will not have happy days for quite some time and the turn to linux in that company is over for good. What a victory for freedom and free software.

Obviously, you have never worked in a company that sells software. The first thing any reputable company does is checking what licenses the tools/libraries/etc. that they are using have.
Management that doesn't do that deserves to be fired. Just as companies can not just copy MS software, they can not just copy GPL-ed software. No difference.
