It's the worst of both worlds.

If you don't do well and generate revenue/attention, nothing will happen.

If you do do well, then they might come after you with some lawyers, and at that point you have stuff to lose and are wondering why you spent all this time and effort and didn't spend 2k on a laptop of your own.

Also, if you're working on open source, an outside probability is they might assert some sort of ownership on the open source project that you contributed to, and either force you to rip your pull requests out or sue the project for damages.
