There is a difference between doing this accidentally and doing it on
purpose. If it is determined that it is done on purpose and the people who
did it refuse to follow the license, then the Jakarta PMC should be notified
and we can sick the ASF Legal team on the problem. Note, this seems like it
would be a last resort type of situation. The best is to try to at least
discuss with the villains (jokingly said) first and make sure that it was
not intentional.
