Is this full stop, or meant in a specific way? Obviously, having the license, author list, etc. printed on top of the image is unacceptable. However, I've seen posters with a small white space at the bottom where the author name and copyright is given. I've also seen posters where the information is put on the back of the page. Would those options be acceptable?
I have made a number of images available on the Wikimedia Commons under a CC-BY-SA license. I'm quite happy for people to print them off, so long as my name remains attached to them (i.e. I'm attributed, as per the license). It's easy to do this in an unobtrusive manner. I've so far been unable to find out whether the WMFR poster printing setup includes attribution or not; does anyone know the answer to this?

PS: To date, I'm aware of one of my images being printed out in poster form. In this case, I wasn't attributed - but in this specific case I don't mind because they sent me a copy of the print (there was a delivery mistake, and they got two copies). That was fine by me, but it would have been even nicer if I was attributed....
