There is still the 1.0 CC-SA license:
http://creativecommons.org/licenses/sa/1.0/

I believe CC phased it out of their official repertoire because
a) very few people did not ask for attribution
b) under moral rights jurisdictions, it's impossible to relinquish
that right (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moral_rights )

but that's only my memory of it.

Does anyone know if there is a license for share alike, not requiring
attribution?

I have some artwork I want to license as such, and don't want people to be
forced to say I made it if they copy or modify a copy. I am not even sure I
want to force them to say what kind of license it has. I do however want to
restrict people from restricting the copying or modifying of their copies or
modified copies.

I have been trying to find such a license and could not find one at creative
commons. The closest one I found was a GPL kind, that was primarily written
for software, but I think also could appy to anything considered a "work".
That one still required stating the license though. Is there any problem
with taking an existing license, removing the title and changing some of the
words to make it more like what I want? Incase any of this sounds uninformed
it is because I have just begun researching this.

Thanks, Matt
