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....
