in thread Why non-core CPAN modules can't be used in large corporate environments.

You're wrong, read section 1 and 2 of the GPL and/or talk to the FSF. If you take a piece of GPL code and copy it into your own project you are modifying the original code. Such modification is only allowed if you retain the license and original copyright notice. This is what this whole subthread is about.

Removing the copyright is not even permissible under the BSD license, only public domain (arguably) lets you do that.


Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place. Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are, by definition, not smart enough to debug it. -- Brian W. Kernighan
