Devel::Trace does not seem to actually have a copyright attribution or license file attached to it at all. How can you honor the authors wishes if said author does not express them?

Well, that's very easy. In fact, that question is even easier than if there would be license file attached. The basics of copyright law is very easy. Unless specified otherwise, every original work is copyrighted, making it illegal for anyone else to copy the work in parts or whole. (Yeah, yeah, there are exceptions like 'fair use', don't bother stating that). The keys point is the "not specified otherwise". The only requirement needed to have the copyright on a work is to create it. The old (US) requirement that it needed a copyright notice was dropped somewhere in the early 80s or late 70s.

So, unless a work clearly states otherwise, you do not have the right to copy the work.
