Email::Find    adpf  Find RFC 822 email addresses in plain text   MSCHWERN


Email::Find is similar to URI::Find.  It scans plain text for email
addresses.  It does it fairly quickly and extremely accurately, even
picking up nasty noise like '"@".+*@[132.205.7.51]'.  As such it could
be very dangerous in the hands of a spammer.  I've attempted to write
the license to disallow its use for spamming and other Devious
Endevours:

LICENSE
       This module may not be used for the purposes of sending
       unsolicited email (ie. spamming) in any way, shape or form
       or for the purposes of generating lists for commercial
       sale without explicit permission from the author.

       For everyone else this module is free software; you may
       redistribute it and/or modify it under the same terms as
       Perl itself.

I'm wondering if this is enough and if anyone else has had a simliar
bind with a module.
