I appreciate that. But GDlib has the following text in its license "Permission has been granted to copy, distribute and modify gd in any context without fee, including a commercial application, provided that this notice is present in user-accessible supporting documentation." The software I port only have a man page as user documentation. Dose that mean that I have to put all the boring copyright stuff in the bottom of the man page? Or is it considered fulfilled with a LICENSE file in the source dir? Any other options? How is “user-accessible” usually interpreted in this case? BR Simon
