If the big problem is licensing proprietary protocols, wht not just make pirate distros?

Fully anonymous open source development is viable. This could happen. If done well, it could be a very good OS due to being able to do things without license concerns. The problem is: using it wouldn't be legal. Disguise mode to seem like other OS?
