Section 4 does not necessarily encapsulate all uses of
Section 2, nor vice  
versa.  Otherwise there would be no point in having them in
separate  sections.
 
I'm not willing to try to impose rules upon mirrors unless
we are  consistent 
and forceful.  If we're lackadaisical about it, then we
created  that problem 
by doing nothing.

Section 2 requires the copyright notices to be included -
that
includes the authors names. In fact, if my reading of the
license is
correct (it could well not be - I certainly never noticed
this before,
which suggests I may just be temporarily insane), while you
only have
to include 5 authors on the title page as authors (plus
yourself and
anyone working directly with you), you have to include all
the
copyright notices, which is one per modification (which
would be all
the names)... that seems a little odd (and also doesn't
quite match
how Wikipedia does things). I've probably misunderstood
something
there.
