The longer the exact text you require someone to reproduce under your
limited license, the less likely he is to go to the effort
merely for a "thank you" citation (especially if he wants to cite
work from a large number of different books). Your 26-word cite,
complete with an ad for your company that would compete with ads for
his own company, might turn a publisher off.
