Alan,

   Dang!  I thought I was close.    I had SCRD fix their cut-and-paste 
error and agree that an addition to the OSM' Contributors page would be 
adequate for attribution.    I'll see if I can get them to add something 
similar.  Maybe I should contact the OSM Licensing Working Group first.

Thanks!

Best Regards,
Brent Fraser
