Attribution brings the usual recognition for the author, which is what
some authors prefer.  It doubly acknowledges the copyright, and that
copyright is being used to licence the work in the way the author sees
fit.

It may not be practical to attribute a logo on a business card or badge,
but there is ample room on larger productions such as leaflets, credits
pages in books and on web sites, about dialogs in software.  I see no
reason to disqualify that if that’s what the author wishes.
