I hadn't previously noticed the biggest issue here, which is the hypothetical situation where another group wants to re-use Fedora Docs material. If, for example, Ubuntu wanted to re-release the Musicians' Guide, they would try to write a CC-BY-SA attribution statement, and find the following text on the front page of the Guide:
"Christopher Antila Fedora Documentation Project crantila@feodraproject.org
Legal Notice Copyright (c) 2011 Red Hat, Inc. and others"
To whom would Ubuntu attribute the document? Reading a little further into the Legal Notice, we see this:
"The original authors of this document, and Red Hat, designate the Fedora Project as the "Attribution Party" for purposes of CC-BY-SA."
For me, this clears up the question of attribution. But what of the Red Hat copyright notice?
CC BY-SA 3.0 Unported requires the licensee-distributor to "keep intact all copyright notices".
