Attribution is a good thing to protect. I believe an attribution
requirement is an acceptable restriction on use. Copyleft (sharealike)
is a good thing to protect, as well.

If there is no serious disagreement about this (I don't expect any) we
can assume a copyright "nullification" to leave intact optional
enforcement of attribution and/or copyleft requirements.

With this amendment on copyright "nullification," a nullification is
sufficient to sustain all these great projects.

The only thing that depends on copyright are additional, more
controversial restrictions on use. None of these are necessary to
sustain open access.
