Honestly, I was going to reply in kind at the time, but then decided to do my part in keeping HN civil. :) This prof will likely not get in trouble, however my comment was regarding the general sentiment - the claim that you cannot get in trouble for helping to violate someone else's contract is dangerously incorrect. The bar might be high, I don't know enough about that, but in general you most certainly can get in trouble that way. I was thinking about the case where Kai-Fu Lee breached his contract with Microsoft by joining Google, and Google ended up sued and paying a settlement for the instigation.
