I don't know of a license that has fewer requirements than Attribution. The only no-strings-attached provision is a Public Domain dedication.A gift is given freely and has no strings that attach it to the giver. Cumulative advertising clauses or cumulative attributions could weigh down on a gift-economy project enough to kill it.
I think a very healthy gift economy in Free Software has grown up with very light requirements (attribution, license notification, copyleft, disclaimer of warranty) on most Free licenses. I'd find it hard to defend the position that these licenses' requirements have made Free Software untenable.
