I would hope the answer is "no" If Packman receives packages which clearly remove the legal copyright attribution of previous authors, Packman would need to be prepared for serious conversations with the copyright holder who's attributions are being removed. This is a very serious situation which fundamentally undermines the legal basis under which free and open source licenses operate, so is taken very seriously by corporations that run their business in compliance with those licenses.
