No. If your advertising mentions features of the code, as opposed to features of your product that happens to include the code, then you have to state where you got the code. You don't *have* to mention features explicitly tied to the code. You also can't use the name to promote the product, e.g.: o Use's Eric Allman's Sendmail program Not vague at all, IMO.
