I think his use of the word "trick" is what triggered your firewall :-).
He could easily re-phrase the question as "Is there any risk with
running BGP on the QFX5200 with the license warning"?

Their only recourse is to enforce license limits in software, and we are
seeing that with later releases + newer platforms.
