I send an email to their mailing list friendly asking them to not do this. If they decide to risk users' data that way anyway, we can discuss what we do - warn our users, or, worst case, use our trademark rights to prevent them from calling their version 'ownCloud' to ensure we don't get users who are badly burned by a 'ownCloud' version we have no control over nor can't fix. Let's see what their reply is.
