Interesting issue, how to preserve credit without stopping modifications. Quite amusing since whenever I've released free source code, my license has often been simply "You can do anything you want with it as long as you give me credit", and while this is *much* freer than GPL, it retains what the FDL is trying to accomplish (although since it's not specific about modifications, so it might still pass the Debian Freeness test).
But that's a very vague formulation. If GPC had something like this, someone could probably sell a slightly modified version, claiming that it's his work and mentioning somewhere in the small-print that it contains some contributions by (insert names) ...
