Yikes, I'd say the answer to your initial question is no,
unfortunately. But as someone said above, many countries limit freedom
in strange ways. As long as it isn't part of the license, I would
rather treat this as anti-hate laws etc.

I consider myself fr-1, but until something better comes along:

the author enjoys the right of the respect of their name, the quality,
and their work.
This right is attached to the person.
It is perpetual, inalienable, and inviolable.
It is transmissable upon death to heirs.
It can be conferred upon a third parties based on a will.
