Apparently it is counter-intuitive at least for users not reading our wiki, otherwise we wouldn't see those incomplete attributions this often. I even doubt that insisting on that license URI is a good idea at all. The URI isn't really useful in practice as long as people know where the data comes from and are can easily go to osm.org (where we have the possibility to advertise our license conditions in any way we like). It is cumbersome in many environments and enforcing it would require a lot of unpleasant communication: Informing others that they don't conform to a license isn't a great start for relations. Initiatives such as the "Lacking proper attribution" wiki tables have caused conflict even within the OSM community.
