Eh, charitably guessing here, I could imagine an intern being told something, "it's okay to use Open Source software, just make sure it's Apache license otherwise we have to get the legal team to review." And then an intern naively treating that as a directive, without the understanding that it was wrong. Hoping the intern learns lots, and that he isn't raked over the coals.
