I can see where you're coming from with this, but surely it shouldn't be on a free public release modification. Many people wouldn't know where to look to find the coding to remove copyrights, okay there maybe some out there.

Personally, I release modifications on here which are also free (I place the trust in people not to remove copyrights used) - and I state that no tracking code has been used within a modification.
I only enforce 'tracking code' and copyright protection within commercial products which I can then check are being used on the correct domains.
Even vBadvanced do not enforce people to validate their installations of their free portal, so it is understandable why people are thinking otherwise on this modification.

Just my two pennies worth...
