To whom it may concern & CPAN Legal Team,
Nagios::Plugin package has been hijacked and purposely deprecated by a
hostile member of your community in an attempt to deliberately cause
harm to Nagios Enterprises business.
Additionally, Sven Nierlein, the hijacker, has taken it upon himself to
not only deprecate the package in favor of his own package, he also has
deliberately removed the original Copyright found in the correct version
of the module, as seen here
http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/TONVOON/Nagios-Plugin-0.36/README
Copyright (C) 2006 by Nagios Plugin Development Team
See new Copyright:
http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/NIERLEIN/Nagios-Plugin-0.37/README
Nagios Plugin Development Team is run under the direction of Nagios
Enterprises and has no affiliation with Mr. Nierlein, nor his newly
created "Monitoring Plugin Development Team".
This is not the first time Mr. Nierlein and his associates have
purposely tried to hijack our intellectual property, see the following
from 1/24/2014:
http://nagios-plugins.org/uncomfortable-info-on-the-plugin-team-changes/
*Please revert the changes made to the **Nagios-Plugin-0.37 module ASAP*!
If we need to add an authorized user to control the package and
approve/deny, I would be happy to do that and have submitted a request
for a PAUSE account under the userid NAGIOS.
Thank you for your quick attention to this matter.
