When I print a poster, and the license and the contributors have to be printed on it as well, the image of the picture is spoiled for me. This would be a reason for me to return the printed poster. So let us be practical, WHERE do you want to have all the information that is so dear to you? What are the costs and is this feasible.. Are you not killing the goose that lays the golden eggs ?
It could be in a discrete line at the bottom of the poster. Just how much information should be there remains an open question, but there should be enough for the owner of the printed poster or successive future owners to determine the copyright status of the picture. Somewhere down the line an owner may want to republish the picture (admittedly with reduced quality), but the chain of free licensing will have been broken. Would we accept uploading such a picture with unknown origins?
