I have been getting pushback from people that this might be "illegal". Could anyone please tell me what's illegal about trying to send a packet with a random source address?

The *real* problem isn't the testing. It's the assumption that you can actually *do* anything useful with this data. Name-n-shame probably won't get us far - and the way the US works, if there's a large cartel of BCP38-compliant providers calling out the offenders by name, you might encounter an offender that finds it cheaper to send a lawyer chanting 'restraint of trade!' or similar rather than actually fixing their problem....
