He would not have received whatever benefits he received as a consequence
of not obeying the license.  Those would go to the copyright owner, less
any direct expenses the infringer could prove, plus any damages the
copyright owner could prove.

This is all assuming, of course, that the copyright owner elects not to
demand statutory damages.
