This is explicitly addressed - the proposed terms do make allowance for content attaching additional attribution requirements; see the section "Attribution of externally attributed content" in: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Licensing_update What is and isn't acceptable in terms of additional attribution for external content, and how such attribution should be displayed, is IMO something we need to work out as a community. We don't need to solve every problem in this process; fundamentally what we're trying to do is create a consistent baseline that's understandable and easy to build on.
