At some point the corporation needs to take responsibility for what its actors do... You can't just say everything good that happens is because the corp is awesome and everything bad that happens is because that one guy did something stupid so it's all his fault and the corp is still awesome.

There is a small exception, but it generally only applies when the employee goes fully rogue, harming the company itself in the process, but here it seems to be a mistake, so not applicable, AFAIUI. Still, that doesn't mean they can be bound by a license granted by an unauthorized employee. I think at most they would have to pay damages, if any.
