Let's not forget that Al Capone was convicted not for murder, racketeering, or bootlegging, but for tax evasion; and that the US tax code specifies where on your tax form you are required to report income from the sale of illegal drugs. It would be ironic for a dissident to evade capture and prosecution for years, only to finally be brought up on charges of criminal copyright infringement (with or without the consent of the copyright holder!) for failing to submit their changes upstream while operating clandestinely.
Indeed. If you're a dissident fighting your own government, then complying with a license that can only be enforced by a government agency is probably the least of your worries.
