How's this? :

  LICENSE CLARIFICATION

  This is how we, at OOoAuthors, interpret the Creative Commons
  Attribution license, used for our work:

    (*) The author names need not be prominent. For example, a list
    names under the heading "user guide contributors" is acceptable.

    (*) The license does not interfere with fair-use rights. For
    example, you can always quote from our work and attribute the text.

    (*) The Creative Commons is not a party to this license.

How's that?

I'd like to keep it as simple as possible. One of the things that make the 
CC-BY license groovy is that it's simple and in plain English.

Cheers,
