Discussion about what kind of attribution is adequate is a typical 
legal-talk topic. That legal-talk was "some obscure list" is entirely in 
your head and has no basis in reality. The only people who cannot make 
the distinction are those who - mistakenly - believe that just because 
something is important to them it must be important to everyone.

Great. Read legal-talk then.
