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. > >> > I also agree with Richard that we should carve out the copyright in the logo >> > from any license grant. >> >> Yes, the original intent of the current notice language was to >> indicate that but I think it can be made clearer. >> >> The entire legal notice actually needs to be revisited because of the >> FPCA too (I assume contributors to docs are typically in cla-done or >> whatever it's called).

I also haven't seen any formal tasking. I'll make the following proposal: 1. We remove the copyright tag from the Fedora branding in Publican. 2. We add an attribution appendix to all guides that include those that have worked on the information contained within the guide. 3. We remove the author list from the front of the guides. 4. Clarify in the license text that attribution must be done within the work. Anything else?
