It's really very simple.

When you work in proprietary software, any time you buy somebody else's
product/library/application/service, you need to pay them and also follow
the terms of their proprietary license.

When you work in open source software, you need to follow the
terms of their open source license.

When you produce whatever product or service, you need to be in compliance
with the terms of the licenses of all the products you used, proprietary
and open source, or else you will be sued.

See? Very simple.
