Whoa, I missed that. So if I have, say, a SourceForge game project and I
 have a zillion contributors, can I just require that attribution point
at the project page (where, of course, there will be a full credits list?)

I am a little concerned about the "equal notice" condition. For example,
it suggests that in movie credits, all the credits must be the same
size. I.e. the director's credit is the same size as cel animator #57.

Is that true? Credit placement is often a negotiating point on
commercial projects. But there is also a fairly natural order in
contribution level: more creative contributions are usually more
prominent, as well as larger contributions.

Cheers,
Terry
