Perhaps you would be less shocked if you quoted in context?
After the quote from Nimmer about contractual conditions,
the brief states
"Nimmer ... support the proposition that a copyright
licensor may recover in copyright for violations of
a license condition ..."
That is, the argument states that since it is fine for a
contract to require attribution, it makes sense for a license
that requires it to be enforceable as well. It does not argue
that the license is a contract.
