Yes, it's just you. We took a vote, and we decided you were abusing
the no-Attribution licenses, so we put a cookie in your browser so you
can't choose licenses without Attribution any more. I'd feel sorry for
you, but you brought it on yourself. I hope you've learned your
lesson.

OK, not really. Check here for the motivation on why Attribution is no
longer optional:

There's been a lot of discussion on this list about it, see:

https://lists.ibiblio.org/sympa/arc/cc-licenses/2004-May/thread.html

And look for the threads that have Attribution in the title, like
