Yes, you're right...my mistake :)

I understand the license this way:

If you're using the graphics for promoting the event, it's ok to not
attribute the author. It's the UGJ we're promoting and there's no need to
link to the authors site.

But, if you're distributing the artwork or making derivated use of it, then
you must attribute.

I totally agree with you on this.

Usually, the copyright notice take up a tiny fraction of the brochure,
poster, cd label,or whatever. I'm sure that you can make some space for it.

The reason I choose CC-BY-SA was that it was the most common license on the
SU site. But I'm willing to change it if you feel that the current license
prevents people from using the artwork.
