Secondly you hit the issue that the license states
that attribution
should be reasonable "reasonable to the medium or means". Quite apart
from the problem that this will vary from legal system to legal system
the range of medium means that the resources needed for the guidance
section are immense consider:
Plastic models
stained galss
Globes with maps on them
Cameo (carving)
Wood pannel painting
knitting
Portrait photographs
Ceramic sculpture
metal cannon models
maps
computer games
documentaries
quiz books
magazines
Ceramic cups
Engravings on Tankards
music on magnetic tapes
music by popular beat combos on vinyl records popularly known as ah "45s"
etc
All of which I can see without moveing from where I'm sitting or
indeed turning around.
Ha! I would like to immediately challenge community members to come up
with some way to reuse wikimedia content in one of the media listed by
geni, above... (a knitted article, authors embroidered on the back?
An engraved-tankard with PD picture? A spoken-wikipedia 45?). Best
example brought to Wikimania this summer will win a prize, with
categories: most creative, best craftsmanship, best use of/compliance
with the GFDL, etc. If a contributor sues you over content reuse, I'll
help pay the legal fees, any items produced/sold commercially
excepted.
