If you did this then I think that there's an easy way to solve this problem. Since you have a public license, revert the commenting and then add the license in a comment in the plugin section (together with some boilerplate [1]). This will ensure that anyone who runs the build will posses the license needed. (I can't do this since I don't have a public license and can't obtain one any more). Give a detailed explanation in the commit message and link to a JIRA. Sound like a plan?
