So, there was a discussion of the Attribution 1.0 license on the
debian-legal mailing list, which resulted in this summary:

    http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2004/04/msg00031.html

I don't agree with the summary (see my response here:

    http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2004/06/msg00146.html

), but I thought it'd be interesting to bring up on this list, since
it's been under discussion.
