So long as the company has some "plan" on what to do, should someone ask for it. I know there's been a bunch of people "testing compaanies responses to GPL requirements", so its entirely possible that someone could see that you're running Linux/bash/cp/etc. and say "Great! Let me have all the sources!", just to test your responsiveness. Our local Linux Users Group has a number of people who do this time and again as companies "embrace" Open Source, just to see how clued in they are. When they encounter someone less than prepared for it, they're quick to notify the FSF, who then start complaining even louder, etc. etc. ... Can cause bad press which is a Bad Thing. :)
As for Stallman.,... yeah, he can be a prick, but he's the holder of the license for a lot of the stuff you're using, so you have to play by his rules on that stuff. :)
