The question is slightly different at the end but doesn't make complete sense without the intervening text.
A bit of background. I have been a Licensed Amateur Radio Operator (Title 47 CFR Part 97) for 20 years.
I recently ran into a legal and ethical situation where I was Sub-sub-contracted to a vendor who wanted me to violate Part 90 (Licensed Business/Industrial) of the same CFR by programming radios that should have been frequency coordinated and licensed for use.
I informed the Vendor what needed to be done for licensing (Form 601), and offered to do the work of locating non-interfereing channels that would support their use. I hoped to make compliance the easy route. Normally this Would be handled by a coordinator during the application process.
Their answer was 'we do this all the time and have no intention of asking the client to get licenses.' That being the ethical portion, I declined to unknowinly open the end user to potential fines and subject licensed users to interference and left the project.
I am fairly certain that asking me to violate a law breaches any contract (only a verbal was in place for this work).
The question is if had I instead provided the assistance would my existing Radio License be in jeopardy and would I have assumed liability for damages by that action?
