Seems like common sense to me. If the FCC considers this 'interference',
which it apparently does, then devices MUST NOT intentionally interfere.
I would expect interfering for defensive purposes **only** would be
acceptable.
What constitutes "defensive purposes"?
Since this is unlicensed spectrum, I don't think there is anything one has
a right to defend :)

If you charge for access and one person pays and sets up a rogue AP
offering free WiFi to anyone in range. I can see a defensive angle there.
