So, basically, we want people reusing our content to show some sign 
that they are attempting in good faith to comply with the license, 
even if they don't quite dot the i's and cross the t's in a manner 
that can't be nitpicked to death by a lawyer.  Perhaps we should 
have, somewhere prominently linked from our copyright license page, 
some plain-English non-lawyerese explanation of the bare minimum that 
would be needed by a reuser to show such good faith and not be 
ridiculed by us (even if we're not generally inclined to sue).
