I agree that a very literal reading of section 10 would preclude
anything but CC0; OTOH, for certificates in cert stores in particular,
attribution requirements are either very hard to do, or trivially easy,
depending on whether you think the fields within the certificate count
as attribution. Extra attribution metadata that the cert user can see
would be hard.

Perhaps it would be good to have different requirements for certs and
for documents?

I didn't add CC-BY-SA just to reduce the list of options; I agree
there's nothing wrong with it, and it meets our requirements. CC0 didn't
even cross my mind, but would also be acceptable.

Perhaps we could say "any Creative Commons license which does not
include 'NC' (non-commercial)"?
