In short ignore it. http://www.pool.ntp.org/en/vendors.html has guidelines for vendors, but not all of them are following it.
It is even worse with ISPs. On my server I have a whole networks that are configured to update from the public pool (fortunately not abusive ones<crossing fingers>). Some ISPs instead of creating few ntp servers prefer to pass the traffic to public servers?! Pool administration could probably ask politely the vendor to contribute, but I do not see what could be done to stop the abuse.
