They will be happy to cease use of the code.

The damages probably amount to $0. "Don't use this code, no seriously don't" isn't exactly an advertisement of the value it provide.

And they'd like you to even move away from that replacement to an ever newer replacement: https://github.com/heroku/buildpacks-jvm
