It's not just bad form. It's not even valid if one has not made any original contributions to the work. Matthew Bender & Company, Inc. v. West Publishing Company 94 Civ. 0589 (S.D.N.Y., May 19, 1997)[1]. To do so might even constitute a fraudulent claim of copyright, if misrepresenting the license terms can constitute such (I don't know if it can, and don't know of any case on point).
