Some of us think copyright is unfair and we want to use it as little as possible. That means using MIT or BSD licenses.

That doesn't mean we are against attribution. We are only against the use of coercion to get attribution.

We can say "It would be nice if you give attribution" without saying "I'm going to use my legal rights to coerce you into giving me attribution"

That seems like a very hard line to me. Copyright gives fairly comprehensive control over use, however trying to draw a line somewhere down full-control, attribution or no control seems very hard.

As it is today you can use your full control to allow full use with attribution. Of course the "unfairness" probably comes from the fact that you can't force others to do the same.

In my opinion the best option is to keep copyright at "full control" with a time limit. Probably 10-20 years. However that doesn't solve your desire for only attribution.
