It's good to see more discussion on this. I like that this document lays out 
the moral requirment to attribute. We don't ask for any money, but we do ask 
you to attribute us. It's a very good bargain.

But I think this attribution is too vague. It's advice seems to restate the 
relevant section from the ODbL. There are many examples of poor attribution 
where someone could argue that they meet this standard.
