Actually, yes, you do. From section 6 of LGPL 2.1: "You must give
prominent notice with each copy of the work that the Library is used
in it and that the Library and its use are covered by this License."
and "If the work during execution displays copyright notices, you must
include the copyright notice for the Library among them...."

There is no single point of contact regarding the copyright for all of
the code in MLT. The framework, core module, and some other modules
are all copyright Ushodaya Enterprises Limited, but we no longer have
a direct contact with them. Other modules have a variety of
copyrights. And then there are the various dependencies that need
consideration. So, a lawyer is definitely good advice if you need to
make something proprietary.
