It would be safer to move to an MIT license without attribution, but request attribution as a courtesy.

Not just courtesy, but work to make it part of the culture. It should be. It is among professionally trained scientists and engineers, and this culture should be propagated into the self-learning crowd.

IMO changing the license is the wrong way to go.

Curious, what's the right way?

Making attribution part of the culture, as I attempted to articulate. Kind of like here on HN: When people quote, they give a reference.
