Is this a breach of Licence

A company we are aware of has rebranded vTiger and passed it off as
there own software.
vTiger is covered by the SugarCRM Public Licence and by a derivation of
the MPL, the vtiger Public License Version 1.0
http://www.vtiger.com/products/crm/vtiger-public-license.html
Does this allow me to lift the codebase wholesale, stick my logo on it
and pass it off as my own work, or does this clause come into play from
the above licence?
3.3. Description of Modifications.
You must cause all Covered Code to which You contribute to contain a
file documenting the changes You made to create that Covered Code and
the date of any change. You must include a prominent statement that the
