There are simpler reasons to not remove licenses statements, as will

Here's a pop question:

Which of these two licences grants more rights?

a.
Copyright 2006 Theo de Raadt.

b.

Copyright 2006 Theo de Raadt

You may use or distribute this file without
modifications.

The answer is b. The first licence grants NO RIGHTS AT ALL, and
retains them all for the author!

David, I truly recommend you go study at least a few minutes of
copyright law, heck, even at wikipedia if you are short on time.
