I think we meant this general situation to be covered by the new 3.4:
"You may not remove or alter any valid copyright or patent notices
contained within the Source Code form of the Covered Software, or any
valid notices of licensing."
I know, but that's not enough.
If I wrote the whole network library, I still wouldn't appear in the
Help | About box.
Similarly, if I take Gecko and build my own browser UI around it, I
don't remove any noticed and don't have to credit anything.
This still 'gives credit'
Unfortunately, it does not.
The above mentioned problems didn't exist in the old wording, it was
much clearer, and had no loopholes.
It actually had a pretty big loophole in practice, which is that it only
covered the Initial Developer and not later contributors. But I see your
general point.
Anyone else have thoughts/opinions on this issue?
