Since the server didn't report to the MS, ask the server owner what they want to happen. If it is a open server, cheating is allowed/not punished, then only use the proof from pubs. However, if the server owner says ban, then feel free to release the names and demos. I think the demos belong to the server owner, as the server made them.
About the players, if they are in clans (and wearing the tag during the demo), I would suggest contacting the clan leaders. I know as a leader I would want to be contacted if one of my members was using a cheat client. It may be ratting out, but being in the clan means that the players agree to certain rules while wearing the tag.
You have the proof that they used the clients in the MS. I would suggest a CBL. I think most knowledgable players would admit that your word is good enough proof.
There needs to be a distinction between servers on the MS, and servers off of the MS.
By being on the MS it seems like an implied rule that you cannot help/allow/reinforce cheating. See: http://forum.cubers.net/thread-3413.html
By being off of the MS, you dont have to follow those rules.
One more point to think about (although probably not relevant in the current case). It really depends on what they were doing with these cheats. If they were testing exploits and such, it would be ok. It is off the 1104 (even though there is only one) MS. Think about how Brahma tested his anticheat, of course he had to cheat. I too have tested an exploit. However this server I tested on was off the MS, and a B} server. I also reported the exploit after I was sure it was a viable problem. If they were cheating for fun and realizing it was off of the MS, it doesn't matter as much.
However you know these clients were used on servers.
If any of these players are members of my clan B}, I want to know. (Although I highly doubt that they are)
Edit: I was off about Brahma, he never cheated.
