> Wikipedia actually does not do (correct) attribution on their site (no attribution next to the images.
More recent versions like CC-BY-SA 4.0[1] explicitly say that it may be reasonable to attribute via a hyperlink.
Older licence versions do not have this line, but even then, it could be argued that Wikipedia itself is not infringing because attribution is still provided as part of the same work (considering the whole of the German Wikipedia as the work), rather than on an external site.
Unless German courts have already ruled that attribution has to be next to the image?
