Well, maybe it'S only less obnoxious for practical reasons. Images and 
music often don't have too many authors/contributors.
But when it comes to game development, CC-BY2.0 is at least as obnoxious 
as original BSD. The big difference: BSD was about advertising only 
while BY kicks in everywhere where authors are mentioned.
