      Against the terms of use? Yes. Illegal? Sort of, but practically not until somebody proves it in court.

          I’m saying that if a law isn’t enforced, then breaking that law EFFECTIVELY is not illegal. Companies have been violating open source TOS for decades and nothing has happened. To make them stop, somebody would have to put up the money and lawyers to sue them and make them pay. But that hasn’t happened yet, so the status quo will continue.
