Removing a Copyright notice is not an arbitrary modification but will in court likey be interpreted as an act to conceal the authorship.

So my interpretation is that if you The invariant sections are in GFDL to make sure that certain parts of the work can not be removed. This has nothing to do with the copyright notice. [and sure invariant sections make works non-free] > contribute to a project under GPL, you implicitly waive your right to > require attribution because of the license. So it's not taken away, it's No. Please quote the section of the GPL which says this. With such a rule in the GPL the FSF would not need to get copyright assignments. > Yep, but gnurl isn't GPL, it's license doesn't have that clause. Also, Okay, did not know.
