Okay, so functional information is differentiated from credits. That would 
make sense. I was thinking just now, what if the document is a biography 
of Daniel Carrera ?  Obviously, Daniel will have more prominence. But the 
BY license should allow him to work with his mom on a biography (after 
all, he can't remember anything before he was 10).

Okay, good good.  Thanks!

Alright. I wouldn't have thought of that. Thank you.
