No, because that wouldn't be legal. I think I've made it quite clear that community opinion is only relevant when it comes to legal options. I'm not a statistician, someone else can work out how large a majority is needed from a sample size of 570 to be confident (at the 95% level, say?) that a majority of the population as a whole agrees. > If we look at just people's first choices (assuming they ranked the >> options in way compatible with my ordering, first choices are >> sufficient) then: >> >> 12.11% would be happy with no credit >> 39.48% would be happy with credit to "Wikipedia" >> 69.66% would be happy with linking to the article >> 80.89% would be happy with linking to the version history >> >> That clearly shows that a significant majority would be happy with >> attribution-by-URL (you can argue over where the URL should point). > > > Order of difficulty is not the same as order of happiness.
