So, there's a new stipulation for the by provision, to wit:

"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; and"

It's not clear to me what this would be used for. What additional
information would be contained in the linkback URI about copyright and
licensing information that wouldn't already be required for
attribution?

Would this just be to allow someone to distribute a work without
licensing and other information embedded, but an URL to some licensing
description and copyright info?
