attribution, as I've noted before.
However, you're quite inconsistent on that point. As one example among
many, you said earlier "Indeed, the only way in which contributors are
credited in Wikipedia is through a history of changes."
What is and isn't acceptable is defined through more than the license.
Like polling? 1 out of 5 Wikipedians polled expressed that they expect a
full list of authors to be listed in an offline copy.
"Attribution by link" is acceptable to most Wikipedians, but not to all.
4) The CC-BY-SA license grants the author the option
to not supply a
name for purposes of attribution. The CC-BY-SA license grants the
author the option to supply a URL.
Are you claiming that Wikipedians have supplied such a URL? What is the URL
they have supplied? Must all reusers supply this URL, or is it optional for
them to do so?
