Agreed that an "about this activity" (credits, license, etc) UI element should be standard.<div><br></div><div>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.<br>

This brings up an issue I have been thinking about, since the SynPhony database comprises several "with attribution" components. Would it make sense to have a common design element that was "about <activity>" or "credits" that would allow contributions to be acknowledged? Leaving aside whether it is a license requirement I think it is good practice to show Sugar users, aka kids, that some people cared enough to build this stuff, and that if they build stuff they can receive acknowledgement too.<div>

Hi,<br>
<br>
we did show a full license in the Control Panel before. The path was<br>
hard coded to where OLPC had placed the GPL license. What can we do to<br>
meet the expectations of all the distributions that want to ship sugar?<br>
<br>
Thanks for inputs on this,<br>
Simon<br>
