Dear Colleagues,

Thanks to those who responded to my previous query about project governance. Though I did not have anything to add in response, I learned a lot from the conversation.

I now have a quick question about Creative Commons attribution. For those of you using CC licenses (we are using CC-BY), I would be curious to know the following:

*Do you give a recommended wording on your site as to how attribution could be made? For example see this detailed example: http://graduates.treasury.gov.au/content/copyright.asp

*Do you ask your users to make explicit when their work is derivative or simple reproducing verbatim?

We would like to help users unfamiliar with CC (the majority of our users) by providing a short model attribute statement and I would like to find some good examples to work from.

thanks!
