I hardly believe that's necessary. I've never heard any complaint about
using the Fokker name in any flight simulator. In fact the Fokker
project for MSFS does have some support from the Fokker company I
believe.

Also the situation for JSBSim is slightly different since it only
concentrates on the Flight Dynamics part of the simulator and
configuration files therefore could be misinterpreted as being accurate.
If, after simulated tests, some oddity shows up and someone decides to
contact the manufacturer of the particular aircraft then that pushes
JSBSim right in front of the radar.
So stating that the FDM is in no way endorsed or backed up by the
manufacturer actually makes sense.
