I did not know that. I am confident that OOoAuthors does not do that.
The license was intentionally very liberal. It was the most liberal
license I could come up with short of public domain.
I don't know if they can change the copyright line like that.
Depending upon legal jurisdiction that the copyright was filed in,
they might be able to do that. However, CC-BY requires correct
attribution. Depending upon how attribution in the document is
handled, they may not be in compliance with that. If that is
breached, then it is copyright infringement.
I think that the right approach would be to ask them to give proper
attribution. That much seems fair, and it *is* what the license was
intended to do. Personally, I think that having them link to the real
OOoAuthors website rather than theirs would satisfy the attribution
requirement and should be satisfactory from OOoAuthors' point of view.
