 Priority:  normal  |   Milestone:  Never Assigned
Component:  sugar   |     Version:                
 Keywords:          |    Verified:  0

--------------------+-------------------------------------------------------
 As part of solving the #4265 and coming into compliance with the GPL and
 with the spirit of free software, several change to the current builds are
 needed.

 One reasonably easy thing will be including a note in a translated string
 somewhere in the sugar interface (some sort of about screen, etc) that
 mentions that Sugar is released under the GPL and that it is free
 software. This is standard procedure with interactive pieces of software.

 See #4265 for more information and history.
