"When any Licensor asks, all references to their name(s) must be purged

This is an unalienable moral right in most of Europe. If this is DFSG
non-free, then Debian has a serious problem, because then is it
logically impossible to have a license that is compatible with the DFSG
and European Law at the same time.
The by-sa license is likely to be non-free as well for the same
reasons.
If people think that, we don't they express their opinion about it on
the relevant mailinglist, namely cc-licenses@lists.ibiblio.org?
