[Sugar-devel] Full Licence field

[Wade Brainerd]

Agreed that an "about this activity" (credits, license, etc) UI element
should be standard.
This should be part of a ubiquitous help button, which would become part of
the standard activity toolbar.  When clicked, it opens a localized .html
file from within the activity bundle.  It could open in Browse, or else a
modal dialog.
