More to the point, so far, so have the Linux kernel coders.  But the
copyright violation is real, and Canonical risk either set of
stakeholders filing and getting them severely sanctioned and that
practice terminated at any time.

I personally don't like dealing with companies that indulge shady
business practices that violate the ethics of the open source community,
and this isn't the first time Canonical have done so.  Moreover, I
personally eschew dealings with firms inclined to make potentially fatal
legal mistakes.

As to customer legal liability, probably as you say, but I wouldn't rule
that out.  https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/contributory_infringement
