Basically, if you cut'n'paste text, it appends a CC credit line to the
pasted text. Obviously the paster can remove it, but it does remind
them this is licensed, not PD.
Worth using for our stuff? A bit obnoxious? What do you think?
I vote for "a bit obnoxious". What if they are using it as fair use,
or under the GFDL? Or copy it to something which is already CC? Or
something which is entirely personal use so attribution is pointless?
Or to some large document where inline attribution is inappropriate?
In that case they can highlight the attribution and press backspace!
