The, rather old, issue with that, is that it stops people from providing better attribution (again old example: on map attribution vs. a paragraph underneath). Any guidance should, IMHO, just lay down the rules for the minimal acceptable attribution but not limit how that can be improved on. Simon > > :Stefan > > P.S.
