I never understood why he thought so, though. He may have explained
it to me in a way that I ought to have understood, nevertheless I didn't
and still don't.
Read in particular 4(a) at the link I give above.

I find this language particularly interesting:
"If You create a Collective Work, upon notice from any Licensor You must,
to the extent practicable, remove from the Collective Work any reference
to such Licensor or the Original Author, 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 reference to such
Licensor or the Original Author, as requested."
We, of course, are both a collective and derivative work.
