With this in place, it is not safe to actually copy any non-OSS package from the emulator VM and put it into non-SailfishOS sanctioned device.

One might argue that Jolla will never sue individuals hacking this this way, but:
a) This is unfair versus projects that use actual OSS licenses,
b) Jolla today is a different entity from the Jolla of tomorrow, which could go berserk, be bought by Oracle, or for any other reason decide to start sueing everyone.

Please correct if wrong.
We you are right IMO, and I wouldn't share the dump from my Jolla if I already had it, on the other hand, if you already have a Jolla and copy over the fs to your N9, Jollracle would need a warrant to search your phone to prove you have done something illegal.
