Title: sources credit explanation for FAQ

John,
To some of us who sample, it is a matter of artistic integrity to name our sources for many reasons, no matter how small the fragment (within reason, there is a hassle line at which work on attribution stops) but certainly in the case of large swipes, it's only polite...
Mainly, it's much better for collage art, as a widespread practice and process of amalgamation, to stay honest and transparent about its own construction in my opinion.  I would like to see the license reflect this larger, non-individualistic view of this nothing-to-hide art form by requiring simple attribution, as an etiquette the art espouses. If one doesn't want to for any reason, don't. There wont really be any knocks on their doors for breaching etiquette. But, on the other hand, if any free sample licensed artist is reused and unnamed, he could invoke his license and take the sampler to court and force them to attribute him as a source in their work, but nothing else. None of that "damages" stuff, please. But I think this license might, like a lot of licenses do, espouse etiquette.



A re-write of the above would be excellent to have in the FAQ. Is that possible Glenn?
