The header comment block was indeed removed from the files, but the copyrights were left in the AUTHOR pod section. I didn't know that having two mentions of the copyright was important to the original author. Humble apologies for that. Unfortunately, the license situation is more prickly. Having more than one license within a distribution would be quite hiffy. In consequence, I'm doing the best thing I can do to abide to the original author's wishes, which is to remove the three modules from the distribution. As the next best thing, I'm adding a link to the patch in the 'SEE ALSO' section of NetPacket's POD. Version v1.0.0 has been bundled and released to CPAN.
