I'd like to use unified's community health files, especially the support.md as templates for my own projects, but I'm unsure how to appropriately give credit to @wooorm according to the CC-BY-4.0 license. Is it enough to put the repository or @wooorm in the "Acknowledgments" section of my readme? I realize this is a general question about CC-BY-4.0, but in this specific case of "just" basically copying a markdown document, I'm really unsure how to implement a proper attribution. |

The question boils down to “what is a work?” Are you making something new? Is it a derivative? The answer boils down to where you are located, and a lot of other complex stuff, without an easy answer. You are allowed to use it, indeed. So long as you give appropriate credit. CC gives more examples of how to dot that. |

The closest answer I can give is: a) add a link and such to the acknowledgements, b) the license is CC-BY-4.0 © Your Name, Titus Wormer |

The thing IMO is that you a) note my name and the copyright (locking down all rights), b) note the license (giving rights back).
