I honestly don't understand what the big deal is. It is a little single
line at the bottom of the page. Packt provides your FULL address on the
bottom of their books, when buying from their site.

Also why would you care if your Full Name was on the book? The entire point
of the line is so you don't give the book away or post it online. If you
never have that intention then your Name being on it should not matter to
you.
