I don’t understand why you think “avoiding prison” equals free work for companies. The individuals contributing to open source are subject to the same laws we’re discussing in this thread, and are the ones that would actually be getting consequences.

If your goal in contributing to FOSS is to go to prison, there are a lot better avenues to achieve that.
