That's my position, too.

I too think that BY should be part of a freeware/FOSS
license.
IMHO, the problem with the BY part in the old BSD license
was that it
was too specific about the ways that contributors had to be
listed.
I think that it's enough if a BY license states that the
contributor
list must always be easy to inspect. It need not be
prominent, and it
need not be repeated in every file.
One *could* also request an honest attempt at ranking the
contributors
by relevance. Such a clause should be no more than advisory
though -
it's too difficult to rank such a thing as
"relevance" in a way that
will hold up in court.
Just my ramblings 
Regards,
Jo
