I understand this is Heh. According to your license, all you have to do is to get very expensive disk. Then, put offender's file on that disk, and claim that your costs exceeded 00000 (or how much you have in the licence) and that means auto licence termination IIRC. Oh and btw how can you change licence retroactively? Those "abusers" have right to continue to use old versions under old licences...
