This is not true in the case of the federal tax. I saw it
clearly on one IRS pub, that if you filed tax incorrectly
based on a response from an IRS agent, you will not be
charged the penalty, even if you have to pay the right
amount later.


Which publication? A letter ruling covers you. Nothing
else from the IRS will provide protection. The publications
can be wrong. If it is not a regulation, section of the code,
or some solid legal point based on a case in YOUR circuit,
then you have nothing solid.


Applying the same principle here, you **may** be right that
I may still need to pay a license fee if I get caught. But
I won't be fined $10000, given that I have the print-out of
the official FCC email.

Yes, you would be fined. A google search to unearth this
thread would not help your case, either.
