I would suggest putting the licensing details under a separate heading
in the readme from the general information.
The attribution requirements sound fine to me.  We list the author
next to each style and credit the CSL language / citeproc-js in the
About dialog but not citationstyles.org itself.  I've filed a ticket
to resolve that.

Rob.
