I fail to see how this clause is troublesome. What's wrong with
removing the names of authors upon request, as long as it practicable?
Consider the author's name outside any attributions, such as in a
factual history. Clearly, it is practicable to remove them, even if
that makes the work inaccurate or incomplete. You can't just add them
back, else you've not satisfied the conditions. This is a milder
version of the "invariant sections" method of restricting
modifications of works released under FDL.
The "my name on the cover" term seems to have gone from 2.0. Yay!
Finally, some licensors include the CC trademark terms as a condition.
I expect Branden wouldn't make that mistake, though.
