Removing the author/artwork name at the bottom right is trashy.
including the author would also be wrong, as the original author did have some completely different text.... would not know how to handle without a multi-line disclaimer. still i agree with your critique some how.
If no license is indicated in an artwork/software the implied license (it is not required the indicate a license) is "All rights reserved". This post counts as a derivative work, the author have the right to allow/disallow it.
Outside of legal wording, when making a derivative work it's nice to at least give attribution to the original artist or citing the source of the original work.
