Naming the license in the contract seems easy enough. Of course, if the
(non-technical, consumer-minded) client holds the copyright, there is
very little chance they'll be enforcing the terms of the license -- but
even with that comment I'm approaching "IANAL" territory, so I'll stop
here.
Thanks for your input, Chris. Great to hear from someone who is
actually doing this.
