Sadly your apparent inability to understand the distinction between the proposed "use" (scope restriction) and the enumerated exclusive rights themselves leaves you appearing as ignorant as ever.
The only use involved here is copying and distribution, which are among the enumerated exclusive rights of the statute.
Neither copyright "attributions" nor "licensing" utilize the exclusive rights in copyrighted source code
Correct but totally irrelevant, because the exclusive rights which are being infringed is the right to copy and distribute.
and as a consequence of this fact, the proposed uses cannot conflict with one of the specific exclusive rights conferred by the copyright statute.

Both copyright attributions and copyright licenses are written in plain English -- not model train source code. Your claims to the contrary leave you looking utterly foolish. You should take more pride in yourself.
Model train source code is written in a mixture of computer language and plain English. But that makes no difference anyway. As a CONDITION for the USE of COPYING and DISTRIBUTION the LICENSE requires ATTRIBUTION. Should the work be copied and distributed otherwise, the conditions are violated and the copier has no permission to copy and distribute the work, and doing so is an infringement of the rights holder's exclusive right to copy and distribute.
An unlicensed use of the copyright is not an infringement unless it conflicts with one of the specific exclusive rights conferred by the copyright statute.
