geez guys your on a path where you're gonna need lawyers before it's overwith.
remember that you are putting your mod up for public downloading so REQUIRING permission is a little much. asking that you be given credit is all you should ask.
if you want to dictate that closely how your mod is used then you should put it on its own filefront page and only give the link to those who ask persmission from you to use it if you want that much control over your mod.
if a mod does not state that you should give credit when using it then you do NOT need to give credit for using it. i agree it is the right thing to always give credit weather it is asked of you or not but there is a difference between the two.
as for all the mods out there that don't ask for credit if they are used, then i say it is up to the modder himself to add that to the mod if he truely desires crediting.
i think we are going too far into the minutia of the credit issue where we should look more at helping the modders made their mods better with read me's that explain just what the mod does, any credits given as needed, and what i see lacking in most mods is a date and/or a version number for the mod.
please lets go this route with this post and not lock in on who gets credit.
