About the attribution stuff, I'd like to mention that the new 2.5 CC BY 
license has an area about removing attribution:

<snip>
4. Restrictions
a ****
If You create a Collective Work, upon notice from any Licensor You 
must, to the extent practicable, remove from the Collective Work any 
credit as required by clause 4(b), as requested. If You create a 
Derivative Work, upon notice from any Licensor You must, to the extent 
practicable, remove from the Derivative Work any credit as required by 
clause 4(b), as requested.
