> couldn't that be construed as libel or slander?
It could perhaps be construed as a violation of your "moral rights" under the Berne Convention:
http://www.wipo.int/treaties/en/ip/berne/trtdocs_wo001.ht...
"the author shall have the right to claim authorship of the work and to object to any distortion, mutilation or other modification of, or other derogatory action in relation to the said work, which would be prejudicial to the author's honor or reputation."
(Suggestion: don't waive your moral rights in your free software license if you don't want this to happen!)
