I really don’t know the right  format but some plain text format that could be 
exported to google docs, power point, keynote, pdf etc etc would seem to be 
best way to go. I have no idea what that might be right now. Chris has done 
some work in this area and used AsciiDoc right? Perhaps this might help? [2]

In code it generally obvious who created or worked on something as you can see 
version control or it has a header with a copyright notice. So this would need 
to be recorded somewhere, probably LICENSE?

Yep that the issue. but you can still use ALv2 for things that are not code or 
you could use CC0 if you want to keep it as a creative commons license.

So there was more than one creator :-) Also needs to be mentioned in LICENSE?

So where did it come from and who created that and what license is it under?

Yep another addition to LICENSE.

Now I’ve suggested add ALv2 content to license (which is optional) but given 
it’s not obvious that this content is under ALv2 that’s been the suggested way 
of dealing with it in the past.

Actually I think CC0 [1] is. [1]

All good ideas.
