I agree with the principal of giving credit where credit is due. For
example, product documentation should include such credits where
appropriate. On the other hand, displaying those credits within the
application can indeed become problematic. If the author requires us to
display a copyright notice on each 24x80 display screen; that's a problem.
If the author settles for the equivalent of a "Help|About" screen, but
requires it  to be accessible from the entire application, and I have to
lose one of my 24 function keys to do so; that's a problem.
