I have a simple application, determinant_app, I created with pyinstaller, 
which runs fine on my own computer and which I've successfully had 
notarized.

When I open my app, the leftmost pull down menu shows "about 
determinant_calculator"

I know I can edit my info.plist file in a text editor to add/modify a few 
items. For my app, the info.plist is as follows:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" 
"http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd";>
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
    <key>CFBundleDisplayName</key>
    <string>determinant_calculator</string>
    <key>CFBundleExecutable</key>
    <string>determinant_calculator</string>
    <key>CFBundleIconFile</key>
    <string>icon-windowed.icns</string>
    <key>CFBundleIdentifier</key>
    <string>determinant_calculator</string>
    <key>CFBundleInfoDictionaryVersion</key>
    <string>6.0</string>
    <key>CFBundleName</key>
    <string>determinant_calculator</string>
    <key>CFBundlePackageType</key>
    <string>APPL</string>
    <key>CFBundleShortVersionString</key>
    <string>v 1.0, copyright Paul Fishback,2022</string>
    <key>NSHighResolutionCapable</key>
    <true/>
</dict>
</plist>

This was merely the info.plist that resulted from running pyinstaller, 
where I edited CFBundleShortVersionString to include a version number, my 
name, and the year. 

My actual application is much larger and for medical use, and I'm curious 
to know whether info.plist is an appropriate place to add licensing 
information, and, if so, what would be an appropriate location. 

I have no experience with "licensing," but I need to inform the user that 
the app is distributed "as is" and that it and the underlying code may be 
modified by the user, so long as it is for noncommercial purposes. I would 
appreciate any general suggestions for how to accomplish this goal.

Thanks

Paul
