Only if they use the version built into the source archive. If they're
using packaged, they don't have to.
No, this information is outdated. Statically linked components must be
taken into consideration, whether bundled or not.
This mostly affects header-only C/C++ libraries and Rust crates (and
theoretically, this would apply to Go and other languages which
statically compile their binaries, as well ...).
