> Am I a rare case? Do most SO contributors want attribution?

The ones that do are quite vocal. I suspect that those who don't care don't spend much time advocating. Personally, all the attribution I need is on StackOverflow itself.

More importantly, I don't want to spend a bunch of time wondering if some one-liner I use requires a note in my about dialog. Technically, I suppose I might already need to do this, but I kinda feel that if you're going to try to fix this, you should fix it right.



Can you post a link to these people vocal about wanting contribution and what type of content they are submitting?

Stackoverflow is basically documentation. You don't attribute the documentation every time you use an api.
