Do you think they realise that this won't work for infinite time, especially on a open-source/GPL system? They are required to release the sources, at least to the kernel and everything thats linked against a GPL library.
And as we all know, GPL-violations had a lot of success stories in it's not all to long history.

It will only cost you a lot if you set out to violate the license.
