I can't really understand the tradition of never trusting the government in the US. The government is designed in a way that enables, even requires public oversight, public opinion. If that is not the case, you are not living in a democracy. Many Americans trust private initiatives, charity more than taxes and a working public system. People have no say in what corporations do. If people don't trust the government the attitude should be towards fixing it and enabling trust, not to accept it as is. I am not judging, maybe a little bit but not really. I live in a middle eastern country. We really don't trust the government but we keep working on steering it in the right direction. We are many times smaller than the US but we have minimum income, universal healthcare, unions are the norm, etc.

But, and there is a big BUT here, you can't copy someone elses brand. You can't put someone elses name on it and sell a product without asking for permission first.
Yes. That is also how I see it. Plagiarism is immoral, copying/replicating/altering is just natural. Has been the norm for millenia. That's how art, science, and engineering, frankly, the entirity of human culture developed.
I've been using Linux for about 7 months now and have become a lot more comfortable using the terminal but I feel like there is more that I can learn....
As many people have already said, just do what you need to do. That's the best way to learn. But if you are afraid you'll break your system with dangerous commands, use docker or a virtual machine for practice.
not Linux but some open-source software with premium features that have menu items with diamond icons or something like that pointing to those features. you cannot hide the menu items and it keeps sending you notifications to subscribe to an annual license.
