It's not a knock against Marley, because he still had to make sense of the records himself. It's not uncommon for an artist to come to the table with songs they want to sample, but it's the producer's job to make it real and give it the flavor.

I think it's a gracious move on his part, but it's not exactly necessary.

Depends on how the split breaks down. If I make more money from the split than I would from putting my name on it, then that's something to think about. However me being who I am, the money wouldn't matter that much so I'd want the credit. Especially for a record like that, which most people think is the best on the album.
