Do BSA auditors also audit for non-member software?

I have no idea and don't care at all. BSA has nothing to do with Free software licenses which don't try to control use.

Personally I think a comparison with what the BSA does would be instructive because they are very broadly doing the same kind of thing, enforcing copyright licenses.

I don't think they venture outside their members though they may tip of a company and ask them to join. The problem would be that I doubt there is a software company with more than 1 employee that isn't a member of BSA.
