Yep, this. You can just look at the state of FOSS licensing across GitHub to see it in action: licenses are routinely stripped or changed to remove the original developers, even on trivial items, even on forked projects where the action is easily visible, even on licenses that allow for literally everything else. State "You can do everything except this" and loads of people will still actively do it, because they have no shame (or because they enjoy breaking someone else's rules? Because it gives them a power trip? Who knows).

You don't have to obey the copyright of anyone who's not willing to sue you for copyright infringement. Business moguls know this.
