''Social attribution'': some Libre Puro resources might not acknowledge sources. The most common reasons are that they were developed in a context which did not require attribution (e.g. kids mixing resources for fun and sharing them with their friends), or
they
did not want to be acknowledged. In
this case
, indicate "authors unknown" and
request help in
identifying
them
. This may be done via e-mail or by setting up a service for "social attribution" followed by a verification process
(for example)
.
Check whether the contributors actually want
to
be publicly acknowledged

Such a service would allow people who spot re-use of Libre Puro work
to
provide a link to the original which includes the copyright notice and a Libre Puro License indicator
.
