I would agree with this part.

Honestly, requiring that will make the license non-free, especially 
since the base license would be GPLv2.

Is there any chance of simply dropping this requirement?

It might be possible to come up with some sort of exception that means:

   While you are permitted to modify or remove the startup banner, if
   you choose to modify or remove the startup banner, you must rename
   the code from Tanukiwrapper.

(Please note, this is the English version, the legalese version will 
likely be a lot longer and nastier, which is why I'd prefer to simply 
avoid it, if possible.)
