I never said anything about disregarding the law. I
don't give a rat's
ass *how* I'm attributed, as long as I'm not forgotten for the work I've
done. If there's a legal requirement for a certain method and/or
degree of attribution, then obviously that takes precedence over
personal preferences.
As an author you can accept any form of credit you like. You cannot
demand credit beyond what is reasonable to the medium or means.
You say the license says one thing. Other people say
it doesn't.
Yes. Strangely none of them are people a recognise from dealing with
wikipedia's day to day copyright issues.
It's
obviously a very grey area (if it was black and white, we wouldn't be
having this debate).
No it's a very B&W area (at least the bit we are arguing over). People
are trying to cloud the issue.
My only point was to solicit wider feedback, not
have a poll to overrule legal requirements.
Until people stop proposing stuff that isn't legal wider feedback is
of only limited use.
