Hello Phil, Yes, I agree with you considering everything they have done.
The GPL licenses are as far as I can tell all silent about keeping attributions, which is a real pity, and in my own personal view an important part of open source providing the contributor wants to be acknowledged. This means that the GPL licenses are not completely supportive of the international copyright law as defined by the Bern Treaty. At least with the CC-BY-SA license explicitly requires any redistributions to keep the attributions, which is much clearer. Enforcing it (if one so desires) is yet another story.
