I guess it boils down to whether "should" means "must" here, or not.
Are there any means to decide, any precedents?

Yes and you should definitely write to the FSF.
FSF - do you mean to write to<licens...@fsf.org> asking this
question about the legal meaning of "should"?
I wonder how long their legal department would debate that one?
I wrote to an author I know, no reply so far.
That seems far more sensible.

I can appreciate an author would want acknowledging for their work. I think that
is a big gripe many people have about the GPL v2.
