This is a documentation license that puts it inline with the licenses that are acceptable by both Fedora[1] and Debian[2].  It has also been proposed that the following statement be adopted for acceptable attributions: "Attribution should be made on the title page of physical books or in the footer of web content."

 "Attribution should be made in the appropriate area of physical media
or the article summary of web content."
