And it can be as simple as <link to author's homepage or work>Name</link> <link to license>CC:BY-SA</link> Which would look like "Name CC:BY-SA" (excuse the non-standard link notation) > > I don't want to step on anyone's toes, but if the original author of > the graphics felt that was the right license, should we not follow it?

There is no CC license (or FSF license) that does not require attribution (ie: they all do). However, I could argue that material like this should have all rights waived (using the CC0 waiver[0], or similar). That way they can be used/adapted most easily and people wouldn't have to worry about adding (possibly ugly) attribution information to an otherwise pretty advertisement/marketing material. But I could also argue that using the copyleft CC license (BY-SA) or attribution only (BY) is correct as those are most analogous to the software licenses used in the community.
