Any estimates of illegal use of GPL / LGPL software ?

Are there any guesstimates about illegal use of GPL'ed / LGPL'ed code by
vendors of proprietary software (like using such code in a proprietary
application that is released only as a binary) ?

This can happen both with and without the vendor's knowledge / approval.
Like deadline pressed programmers copying code wholesale, changing the
appearance of the GUI sufficiently, etc.
