Attribution in code is unworkable if you minify code as it will no longer be there. Coders who are looking that hard will be able to work out where the awsomeness came from. Embrace a sane open source license please, something that would eg allow distribution with Debian.



Minifiers almost always have an option to preserve specially marked comments for precisely this reason (to preserve the license information).


I would have thought attribution using comments in the main HTML would be an easy solution if you're minifying your CSS.
