Yeah. I was undecided on whether we should add a share alike clause but 
given the nature of things, I suppose that's what makes the most sense.

Also, considering that a lot of people have put in some amount of 
volunteer and paid work into doing this, we should probably add an 
attributions clause to the license. That way, anyone who uses the design 
would have to acknowledge that it was from us and the people who did the 
original work would get credit for their effort.

Like Krace said, it's nice that people are copying it from us. After 
all, the sincerest form of flattery is imitation. :)
