It is certainly a feasible scenario that someone
submit some open source that the person do not
own copyright on.

It is also a feasible scenario that you
hire someone to write some code and that
person get some code from elsewhere
without permission and claim it is
original.

And it is also a feasible scenario that
you buy commercial binary software and
the company has included software that
it is not entitled to.

You can only be 100% sure that such is not
the case if you either write all code your
self or watch somebody else write all
the code.

For less than 100% sure then taking open
source that has been public announced among
the domain experts is probably the least risky
scenario in this regard, because the risk
of getting caught is the highest.
