Well, it doesn't actually say *how* we want the attribution.  As Spot pointed out to me attribution could be in the form of a "thank you" on a post card mailed to me.  I'm okay with the *who* but saying we want our attribution to be in the form of text within the work should be written somewhere, IMO.

Yes, all Docs contributors have signed the CLA and now the FPCA.
