I suspect Knuth's greater concern would be the loss of quality control, and the possibility of unauthorized, updated/modified editions having errors - possibly significant errors - while still being attributed to Knuth.

(Especially since Knuth pays people for finding errors in his work.)

The quality control excuse I've heard once too often from people republishing public domain works and claiming fresh copyrights. This issue is simply solved by adding digital signatures on works, or in the physical book world, by using trademarks. Unauthorized is just another word for unlicensed, and yes, that is what we want: no need to ask permission. Jeroen.
