"So, from what I read so far:
The guy builds up on open source. He doesn't try to make it into closed source product to make millions, while the original open source contributors would get nothing, or anything like that, which would be clearly against the idea of open source and with bad intentions. He doesn't try to hide the changed source code, he makes it available, but not correctly, for whatever reason. Whether he's careless, lazy, incompetent, ...
The result of this is that should anyone want exact source code for specific binary release, they would have to either figure it out themselves or ask him what exactly it is. I hate having to talk with people too, when I don't want to, but it still doesn't sound all that horrible.
The fitting punishment for this, and for what could be seen as being perhaps a little disrespectful, which probably comes from not understanding what's the big deal, is to basically forbid him to work on this ever again. Because taking out one person's code from bazillion places, which was added over several years, and reimplementing it again, is clearly not realistic and won't happen.
Stopping him will be great achievement, the world will become a better place. He'll be very sad and will go cry to his grandma, who will recommend him to find some different hobby. And because she is already bored with knitting and gardening and needs a new hobby herself, she'll take up programming. She will rewrite her grandson's browser from scratch, fully legal of course, not looking at his tainted repo, releasing modified sources correctly, etc. Who would have thought that she had it in her! The person who's rights were violated so horribly will feel good for defending them, the bad guy will learn his lesson, together with everyone watching this, and one grandma will have wonderful new hobby. Yep, it's all worth it.  "
