Hi List,

-attribute the original author in any work, derivative work or  
collection that you distribute. The attribution may be provided in  
any reasonable manner, but as far as is reasonable to the medium...

thought:
attribution in the credits of a film might have been created to make  
sure the artists could be compensated for their work through a guild,  
possibly? what percentage of an audience reads the credits of a  
film?  What about the time and placement of the creativity within the  
film? Most films have a q-sheet (that is separate to the film) that  
lets the rights authority know what was played when and by who- so  
royalties can be distributed. Would this q-sheet need to be attached  
to what is created as the most minimum form of reasonable attribution?

my point is that a lot of mediums have no form of reasonable  
attribution. Maybe a link from the license could list different ways  
to attribute, a set of standards to make sure creators are attributed  
fairly.
