If another team finds out RB is using it then asks the FIA if they are legal the FIA could have no knowledge that RB had fitted one.
Likely they would have suggested RB have it fitted at the same time, why miss an opportunity to fuck them up?
It wouldn't fuck them up though, using it before it was outlawed is perfectly legal. This kind of thing has happened before where team A notices team B is using something funky. Team A asks the FIA to clarify the rules so they can be certain it's legal before copying. The FIA then says it's illegal and neither team gets to use it from that point on.
