Such claims are usually not based on copyright. As I tried to explain, the CC clause which is considered non-free weakens the position of the original author if he asks for such changes. > In software documentation, an original author could require that > changelogs or discussion of differences in design or implementation > ("Original Author had it this way; the new version does it this other > way") be removed. Replacing "Evan Prodromou" with "Original Author" would probably be enough to honor requests under the CC license mentioned in this subthread. I fail to see how this is a "grievous restriction" because common courtesy already tells us to honor such requests..
