Well ok so maybe it has no legal significance, but I think it's just
fair for us to recognize the fine work of the authors who made these
things available for free.

Yeah I don't like shoving GPL in the face of the user to do that
either but many copyright notices include nice lists of
acknowledgements and stuff that I really like to put somewhere the
user can easily find.
