They're not links, they're buttons that display the respective files in a message box. It works fine on OSX and the relevant code (in src/gnome-utils/gnc-main-window.c) isn't special-cased, so I imagine that it's a distro packager problem. > > Just in case you need some digression from the throes of fixing the > current windows release: > > Right now I am not near a windows computer running a newer version of > GnuCash, so if this is fixed, ignore this message. > > For release 2.4.13: > > The GNU way to manage your money!

We should change the bit about the "GNU way"; it incorrectly suggests an affiliation with the FSF's GNU project. > > Scrolling through the license I found this licentious ;( tidbit near the > end: > > Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program > `Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker. > > <signature of Ty Coon>, 1 April 1989 > Ty Coon, President of Vice > > Perhaps that was intentional at the time, (1 April), but it may be > considered poor taste by some readers, particularly if taken out of > context, as I am doing here.

That's actually still part of http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-2.0.html. I guess we still need to distribute that since we formally license under GPL V2 or V3. Note COPYING is GPLv3, which leaves out the flippant example, but isn't what's displayed by the License button. Anyway, it's part of the example not the license, so we could take it out if you really think someone might be offended.
