For the record, our legal reasoning for the
attribution terms under
consideration is as follows (as reviewed by Mike).
1) Part 1: Can attribution-by-link be reconciled with the legal code
of CC-BY-SA?
Answer: Yes. The "attribution by link" option was explicitly made
available to authors in CC-BY-SA 2.0 (note difference in section 4.c:
http://tinyurl.com/cvdbe9 and related blog entry:
http://creativecommons.org/weblog/entry/4216 ). Authors also have the
Erik, this is simply not true. The sentence in question reads [...] You must
keep intact all copyright notices for the Work and give the Original Author
credit reasonable to the medium or means You are utilizing by conveying the
name (or pseudonym if applicable) of the Original Author if supplied; the
title of the Work if supplied; to the extent reasonably practicable, the
Uniform Resource Identifier, if any, that Licensor specifies to be associated
with the Work [...] So, the URI has to be given *in addition* to the name of
the author, not *instead* of it.
Therefore terms of use which require authors to agree
to be credited
by link, and not by name, are consistent with the language of CC-BY-SA.
This entire reasoning has been explicitly confirmed by Creative Commons
General Counsel Diane Peters.
...who apparently hasn't read her own license.
3) Part 3: Is such an attribution model consistent
with the past
practice under which authors have contributed to Wikipedia and other
projects?
Answer: Yes. This is evident through the current site-wide copyright
terms, e.g.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Copyrights . Even
the earliest available version of the Wikipedia:Copyrights policy
which stated re-users obligations said that users' "obligations can be
fulfilled by providing a conspicuous link back to the home of the
article here at wikipedia.com."
[

3] Similar terms have been stated through the history of the policy, as well
as other language versions.
This is also not completely true. It is true that Wikipedia mirrors often
cited authors in this way; but a number of books that were printed from
Wikipedia content have a list of all the authors. I would also argue that
printing a link is not the same thing as providing it.
