Excuse my ignorance, but I bet I'm not the only dummy out there on this. My main question is, "How does this change anything?" Because wouldn't any ethical person attribute you appropriately even without a license? And wouldn't (and haven't) you do/done the same? And wouldn't sloppy or unethical people continue to quote you or snippet you without proper attribution even with a license? Is this more of a legal thing or is it more of a community-ethos thing?
