But the underlying idea of property is required for attribution as well; 
you cannot force people to provide attribution without first claiming 
that the data is yours and yours alone and only by following your 
license will people be allowed to use it.

Probably right. Sometimes I have the impression that many people do not 
so much respond to a status but more to a change of that status. Do 
something under license A and it's ok; do it under B and it's ok; but do 
it under A then change to B, or B then change to A, is asking for trouble.
