They have been made aware via email, and they continue to distribute it via the download link. The is no need to couch this as a hypothetical scenario.

I was talking about in general. Yes, in this case they are choosing to take on legal risk. This is typically fine because almost no one ever sues over free software.

This is not "fine" even if no one ever sued over Free Software.

There are different version of "fine" here :)

Morally, it's definitely NOT fine.

It will probably have no significant bad effect on their business, iow, it is fine from a business perspective.

It's unfortunate, but likely true.
