Hoi, The economics of it are such that there is a real fine balance between cheap and expensive. I positvely hate text on my posters. Printing on the back is two prints and that IS expensive. My point has been and still is that it is nice to come up with "solutions". They have to be practical in the real world. If a proposed solution adds enough overhead, the effect will be that it will not be accepted a solution.
Thanks for another practical example of attribution stifling reuse - too bad if you ever wanted to print something like this:

I'd be a lot more accepting of a 'Wikipedia' and/or the Wikipedia logo printed discretely in the bottom right corner of my poster than one or more meaningless usernames too.
