It's also a good idea to post a comment on their submission, indicating that you have made a derivative and include a link to your submission. :)
Usually when an artist says "link to the site" they mean either their own site or the specific page you found the asset on. Incidentally, this artist -- bart -- is also the owner of OpenGameArt.org, so either one works. :)
I'd personally recommend linking directly to this page, though. Makes it a lot easier for people to know exactly what work you're talking about when giving credit. A pretty good format guide for your credits screen is:
"[asset name]" ([asset link]) by [author]. [license(s)]
I'm pretty unclear on a lot of what is being said, but the FOSS status isn't one of those things. It seems obvious to me WithinAmnesia saying "It could be, but if that means tossing out viable engines, then no it won't be Open Source. To Be Determined."
Duion, are you saying if it isn't an Open Source project, you aren't interested in participating?
No no no! You have that backward: Heads I win, tails you lose. (you guys are in agreement: The Planets inspired Star Wars music. Star Wars music was inspired by The Planets)
I wasn't quoting me, I was quoting you. Your tree metaphor seemed like a search for human resources.
I wasn't really speaking of any specific project. I just figured there are so many existing projects out there that it may be effective to join one of those instead.
"So I figured to ask here to shake the community tree and see if any apples fall out; ring the bell and see if anyone is there behind the desk. *Proceeds to violently shake the tree* C'mon people to work with I am going nuts here!"
"I need people in a group ... *shakes the tree* Where are you hiding people!?!"
Shaking a tree to see who falls out; people who may want to join your project. I was saying 'No one is falling out to help you make your game, because they are busy looking for people to help them make their own game.'
Would you be willing to join a different project already under way?
Most of the people are not in your tree. They are at their own tree, shaking it violently. Would you be willing to join a different project already under way?

In that case, your metaphors seem inconsistent:

Do you want art that is exclusive to your game? Why not use all the top-down zombie stuff that artists already made? Here is just a fraction:
Wait... why not use some of the top-down zombie stuff already on the site?
