It is a common misconception, at least in Spanish law, which is a
Continental Law system with very strong moral rights modeled on the French.

Spanish moral rights include the right to demand attribution. Not the right
to have attribution no matter what. I would be surprised to find out that in
other jurisdictions it is a requirement, and not a right at the author's
discretion.

So if you explicity say "attribution not necessary", the licensee does not
have to attribute. This is my oppinion, IANAL, etc.
