The question came up today, our site is covered by a Creative Commons  
Attribution Share Alike 2.5 license, but we don't say what  
attribution to give, nor do we provide a contact address.

I suggest that we say

===============
All uses of this material must be accompanied by the following  
statement:
"CC - Material from GeoRSS.org web site, used under Creative Commons  
Attribution-ShareAlike 2.5 License."

That also means that any document which uses this material must also  
be available under the same terms. Please read the license!
================

Or something like that. I think we really need a "licensor", and I'm  
not sure whether the licensor must be a legal entity (i.e. a person  
or a corporation) or whether it can be a group (the "GeoRSS  
Development Team").

It might be good to hash this out quickly...
