Much open source software documents its licencing either in every file
of the source code, or in one or more files named "COPYING". LinuxCNC
does the latter. That file (in the top directory) not only states the
licencing, but also describes the origins of the software.
To me, it looks more specific than the stuff at
http://linuxcnc.org/index.php/about
and so perhaps more suited to your purpose.

The GPL is fully quoted in "COPYING". That could add some weight to make
your customer happy.

Maybe it's fair enough for the customer to want to know where he stands. ;-)
Also, AIUI, he should have a right to the source code, equal to the
access we have, so printing a URL to the source code should probably
also be done.

Saudi Arabia faces this problem. Twenty other countries fell below this
threshold in 2000, and another 14 will join them by 2030.
