Sorry but that isn't good enough, a person clicks on a thumbnail on a mobile
device but then needs to click/tap on details (isn't going against what the
whole point of MV was about, less clicks/taps to information) to view who
created it? We (creators can deal with and have accepted that there is no
attribution with thumbnails in articles, pages, galleries and categories) but
if the desktop MV can have the attribution of the author, why not the mobile
version of MV, there is room for it next to the license?

Please have a read of
