CC BY-SA 3.0 attribution in Android app

I am developing a mobile application that uses the Wiktionary API to extract some articles from a Wiktionary. This application will be commercial. I read that Wiktionary materials are available in the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License . I also read the following expression in the Wiktionary Terms of Use:

Please note that these licenses allow the commercial use of your contributions, if such use is eligible.

So my question is: how exactly do I implement the CC BY-SA 3.0 license in my application? I mean: what (links, names or something else) and where (pop-ups or menu items) should I put in my application to satisfy this license?

In fact, there are non-commercial CC licenses, such as Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported (CC BY-NC-SA 3.0) , which has additional non-commercial restrictions. Therefore, I think you can use CC BY-SA 3.0 for commercial purposes.

To implement this, you simply execute the following queries:

  • Attribution: you must attribute the work in the order specified by the author or licensor (but this does not mean that they approve of you or your use of the work).

  • Share Alike: If you modify, transform or create this work, you can distribute the received work only with the same or similar license to this one.

or more clearly the condition

  • where the material in your application is located (e.g. Wiktionary) and

  • what license applies to the material (i.e. CC BY-SA)
