This is a very far-fetched interpretation of DFSG#1. I would say that it fails DFSG#5, maybe #7. However, It would be interesting to know in which countries this is a real concern. In French copyright law, pseudonyms are legally an identity when it comes to copyright. So a license that requires you to disclose your identity doesn’t actually require you to give the name on your passport. If a local law doesn’t acknowledge pseudonyms for copyright assignment, what happens to works distributed under a pseudonym? Are they automatically illegal? made public domain? -- .''`.
