How do people find out or know whether your repo which is having MIT or apache or AGPL license is being used by a corpo and profiting from it and not making the code open source or paying license fees?

    I may have slightly misremembered the license text (subsection 4c):

    You must cause any modified files to carry prominent notices stating that You changed the files;

    So I guess technically you only need to indicate that you have changed the files, not what you've changed in them. I suppose that's less burdensome because it only needs to be done once per file at most.
