Depending on what you call "come after". Our story is similar to the Eli
Biham story you wrote about. They approached us (we didn't even imagine
we need a license for doing something which is not much more complicated
than "rpm -Uvh gnupg"), and told us we need a license or else we would
be doing something "illegal". But they were very cool about it, calmed
us down (since we immediately thought of various Va'anunu scenarios),
never made a threat of any kind or treat us as criminals (like
government departments usually do when you interact with them).

I totally disagree. The law is bad - it is badly phrased and makes no
practical sense. By some sheer luck, it is implemented correctly and
logically by the people who are currently responsible. But that's a
mutation - a freak of nature. Don't count on it to survive the
governmental evolution process!
