Ah, I missed it, I was searching from the front page, the faq, the about page...
The Mercurial license is on the about page... and that, or a footnote on the 
front page, would be a great place to have that info as well. The about page 
does have a license mention, but it seems, from the context that the license 
there is referring to the documentation source?

That's handy too!
I was looking for something that I could point the corporate types, who aren't 
going to install first and look later. But, I do think that having it 
post-install is an excellent idea.

Thanks for the speedy reply!
