Makes sense. Maybe something like git-lfs/git-annex would be sufficient to address the linking issue, but it seems like the bigger concern is whether a court would accept this as valid attribution. In a sense it reminds me of the LavaBit stunt with the printed key.
- joeyh 5y agoI think a judge could be persuaded that a list of every known human does not constitute a valid attribution of the actual author, even though their name is on the list. The purpose of an attribution is to acknowledge the creator of the work, and such a list fails at that.
- buu700 5y agoMakes sense. That's probably the best interpretation here. Any other decision would make attribution lists optional in general for all practical purposes.
