"to the extent reasonably practicable, the Uniform Resource Identifier,
if any, that Licensor specifies to be associated with the Work, unless
such URI does not refer to the copyright notice or licensing
information for the Work;"
to require a link back, you simply have to specify the link. so some
language like "provide linkback to http://yoururlhere.com" near your
some rights reserved button would probably do it.
thanks
