That's not how I read "any reference". Can you explain why you read it that way?
I fail to see how this is a "grievous restriction" because common courtesy already tells us to honor such requests..
Actually, I think the freedom to make modifications that the upstream author doesn't like or approve is a pretty key freedom.
I'm also confused by the moral rights issue. Under a moral rights regime, does an author have the right to have any reference to themselves removed from works?
