This paragraph does both; it describes how Appropriate Legal Notices [ALN] can be displayed, and how ALN are defined. Anything which is not enumerated there does not appear to be an ALN. > So, I think Attribution is absolutely included, the question for me > is if "Powered By SugarCRM" is a reasonable author attribution. I > like Simon's wording of something that would be covered... The critical aspect here is whether author attributions are required to be preserved in the material, or also in the ALNs. Retaining them in the material is clearly reasonable, but I don't believe that forcing them to be present in the ALN is consistent with the terms of the GPL. But in any event, since no one appears to be planning on packaging sugarCRM for Debian, I'll just stop here. Don Armstrong -- More than any other time in history, mankind faces a crossroads.
