Interestingly, CC Scotland 2.5 states

| in the case of a Derivative Work or a Collective Work, placing that
| credit in the same place, and at least as prominently, as any
| comparable authorship credit.

and 2.0 states

| at a minimum such credit will appear where any other comparable
| authorship credit appears and in a manner at least as prominent as
| such other comparable authorship credit.

I wonder if this might just be a rewording oversight?
