-**While ​the wording ​of the attribution is flexible, it's important to avoid making the attribution ​sound as if the author is endorsing your use of their work. +However, authors can often change ​the license on their work -- it's important that you do so as well. Creative Commons may also update the version ​of their license, and while this shouldn'​t significantly change ​the license, once again, it's important to update your attribution as well (this can be as simple as updating ​the version number in the attribution).
