Let's focus on the common BY-SA for consistency. That can't be the intended
meaning, because the license already has, in clause 4b:
"(I) You must include a copy of, or the URI for, the Applicable License with
every copy of each Adaptation You Distribute or Publicly Perform;"
"(III) You must keep intact all notices that refer to the Applicable License
and to the disclaimer of warranties with every copy of the Work as included
in the Adaptation You Distribute or Publicly Perform."
So clause 4d is essentially saying, "You must not...take...[any] action in
relation to the Work which would be prejudicial to the Original Author's
honor or reputation." Which would make things like satire, parody,
modification for the worse, transformation into modern art, and possibly mere
destruction illegal. If the American flag were under a CC license, burning it
in protest would be illegal, since that could reasonably be construed as
"mutilat[ing]" it in a way detrimental to the nation's reputation. The only
way around those restrictions would be to get the section waived (the license
allows this if any modification is considered mutilation in your country),
but not all of us can move to Japan.
