Fully agreed with Ec. Acknowledgjng the license is acknowledging the

free in the true meaning.
Not just "may be" wrongly claimed, it IS being wrongly claimed. And as I
said earlier, not only does that hinder further distribution (because people
will see copyright symbols and assume incorrectly that it actually is
non-free content) but it also hinders further creation of new free works
when people cannot be adequately assured that their licenses will be
respected.
