Thanks a lot in advance. :) The MIT license does not have an advertising clause. Meaning you don't *have* to post any notice such as in the about page (altough you could). Here's a relevant bit from the license: http://dev.jquery.com/browser/trunk/jquery/MIT-LICENSE.txt "Copyright (c) 2009 John Resig, http://jquery.com/ ... The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software. ... " That's really the only requirement. The first few lines of jquery.js, which contain the copyright notice, and the fact that it's MIT licensed http://dev.jquery.com/browser/trunk/jquery/src/intro.js " * jQuery JavaScript Library v...@version * http://jquery.com/ * * Copyright (c) 2009 John Resig * Dual licensed under the MIT and GPL licenses. * http://docs.jquery.com/License " don't remove those. - Richard
