Pay a lawyer to check if your opinion matches copyright law. A court won't care about your opinion, only about the law. You both are very welcome to offer insurance against legal claims by kernel developers. The money you'll maybe lose will be your own. I bet there will be many people who want to offload the risk on you. Please be warned that as soon as you offer such an insurance, certain jurisdictions require copyright holders to sue those who infringe on their copyrights to keep the copyrights enforceable. So that insurance idea will probably die after the first court case. But again, you are very welcome to try.
