The specific problem the author mentions likely would not be solved by a more restrictive license. SEO squatters take whatever they want, and I doubt it would be worth it to sue them for breaking license terms.

While I agree that this isn't a licensing issue, it presents a malware threat for regular users - especially of the more popular software. If you care about the safety of the users, it may be well worth knocking the squatters off search results using DMCA. (In this particular case, I believe that attribution is required by the license).
In the long term, we need ways to make genuine sources more discoverable and verifiable.
