Isn't the whole point of the sandbox the ability to play?

i'm wondering: what's the right way to do about this?
to me, it doesn't feel right diving in there and changing the code. this may actually make the problem worse since whoever did the modification couldn't be sure that the ASF actually had copyright over the code. it would have to be the original committer.
i suppose there should be an attempt to contact those responsible for the component and ask them either to add the correct copyright notice or remove . what's the right way to do this? post the the commons-dev list?
or to the general list? or direct to the the committers themselves?
i suppose the proper thing to do would be to remove the files from cvs. i legal terms, the safest course of action is probably to do the immediately and then let the component committers put them back in once they have proper copyright notices. it would feel a bit rude to remove them before giving the committers a chance to correct matters but it might be the proper course of action.
ideas? opinions?
