write a CC-BY-SA attribution statement, and find the following text on the
front page of the Guide:
"Christopher Antila

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".
