Comment(by Eben):

 Design review:

  1. I think we should use the Unicode copyright symbol © (U+00A9) See
 http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/00a9/index.htm for additional
 encoding info.
  2. "Copyright" is indicated 3 times: section header, word, symbol.  Let's
 trim.  I think you can leave out the word in the first line, leaving "©
 2008 One Laptop per Child".  Can we label the section just "License"  The
 copyright seems self-evident enough anyway.
  3. "graphical user interface" needn't be capitalized.
  4. Let's conclude with "...certain conditions described therein."
  5. Any reason the text wraps so early?
  6. And, let's change the expander label to "Full license" instead of
 "License text".
