Sure I understand where you're coming from, and I'm just lobbying you publicly and privately to not sell software that makes it easy for people to plagiarize us without giving us credit and leaving our links intact.
Something you could do for starters is leave the default "Original Article syndicated via RSS from SITE NAME" and leave SITE NAME linked to the original site.
I'm sure there's a way you could code that in and not let someone remove it without having to remove the feed altogether.
That's the "very least" you could do.
