    Yes, they may have rights to distribute it!

    But if there is any copyright violation then it's a problem:eek:

    Yes, i think there have some software that violate adsense rules,i just heard about it but have not use it, such as one software,when you run it, it can log in your site and click the adsense,then you can earn money.

    I'm not sure about that. See you don't have to worry about that now. If adsense team want to check for fraud they will check the site content not the SERP.
