You actually bring up an interesting point: as far as I can tell (as an end user), 7.1 doesn't have any of the licensed code. The issue is 7.1 Pro. I seem to recall bumping into this issue when obtaining a copy of 7.1 from my University: campus use was covered by a site license, so 7.1 Pro was available. Non-campus use wasn't covered in public, so I was only permitted to take 7.1. That said, the reason why they don't want to release 7.1 probably has a lot to do with what you were talking about.
