The Creative Commons has licenses that require attribution (-BY) 
and those that don't require attribution.  But I don't think they 
have one that forbids attribution.  It seems appropriate to link 
attribution to derivate works in a non-misrepresentation (NM) 
license clause, that would allow greater freedom than today's ND.  
Have they tried anything like that?

For whole recorded songs or films, the CC Sampling license strikes 
a similar balance between the CC-SA freedom to reuse in parts and 
the CC-NC prohibition of wholesale commercial copying,
