The node which sent you the request knows about you, but the nodes which
sent the request to it don't - this is the point of the DataSource. 
Your suggestion might undermine Freenet's ability to move data to suit
demand since the tendancy would be that everyone would have pointers to
the original source of the data, regardless of whether the original
source for the data was still the right place for the data to be.
