<p>[Apologies - I subscribed in digest mode so my response to your initial comments was not threaded, and this won't be either - fixed now.]

<p>I guess what we are after is what you have referred to as a 'gesture'. Probably shouldn't have used the term 'obligation' in the subject line - I've been looking at the ODRL model, so am used to thinking in terms of permissions/restrictions/obligations.

<p>I'm fully aware that - as with pretty much all IP law - enforcement is up to us, so there is always a scalability challenge. But mention within a license at least provides a starting point. In my initial post it appeared that I was jumping to a solution
prior to laying out the requirement, so I attempted to clarify the use-case in a follow-up message.

<p>What would make our bosses happy (and thus willing to continue to support our contributions) would be: where a site uses our product as the primary basis for a publicly-available service, that a gesture of acknowledgment is publicly-visible. In non-legal
English something like "if you use this software as the primary basis for a service with a publicly visible UI, even if under a new skin, whatever, then please acknowledge us on or around your landing page. Our preference would be that you display [this logo]
with a link to [our webpage]". </p>

<div>A standard-ish formulation would be nice. <br>
