Gerv stopped quoting 3.6 too early, it's not mere politeness that suggests your About box or the like: The notice must be conspicuously included in any notice in an Executable version, related documentation or collateral in which You describe recipients' rights relating to the Covered Code Copyright statements, such as those which typically appear in About boxes, are a way of telling users what their rights are in the code so that is where this notification should go.
