Hello,
my question was, what will the bad consequences be, if this is done
implicitly. The answer was that it cannot be done implicitly.
One possible reading is, that nobody knows what the negative
consequences could be and the hypothetical negative consequences are
just avoided when every human performs more administrative work.
Copyright law in the US is quite clear as to the negative consequences;
i.e. you are not licensed to use the code.
And according to Criminal Copyright Infringement -- 17 U.S.C. 506(a) And
18 U.S.C. 2319
The principal criminal statute protecting copyrighted works is 17 U.S.C.
§ 506(a), which provides that "[a]ny person who infringes a copyright
willfully and for purposes of commercial advantage or private financial
gain" shall be punished as provided in 18 U.S.C. § 2319. Section 2319
provides, in pertinent part, that a 5-year felony shall apply if the
offense "consists of the reproduction or distribution, during any
180-day period, of at least 10 copies or phonorecords, of 1 or more
copyrighted works, with a retail value of more than $2,500." 18 U.S.C. §
2319(b)(1).
