Hi Rob,
Thanks for your attention to issues of proper attributions and licensing
on the wsprdaemon.org web site.
As Bill already reported, it would be best for the web page to make
clear not only the terms under which our wsprd is used by your
wsprdaemon, but also that wsprdaemon itself is licensed under GPLv3.

Hi Joe,
I have just checked in wsprdaemon V2.10e which adds display of the GPL
license and an acknowledgement of its dependence on WSJT-x each time it
is started and it the -h help menu.
In addition, we have modified the wsprdaemon.org <http://wsprdaemon.org>
home web page to include that information as well.
Please let me know if these changes are not sufficient to meet the GPL
requirements.
I'm sorry for the delays in making those changes.
I am leading a volunteer project to bring high speed Internet access to
rural native Hawaiinan students so they can join their Zoom class when
school resumes next Monday. As a result, WD work is currently my
second priority.
73,
Rob

Start by reading the GPLv3 license, the license under which you wish to
use our software.
You might proceed next to "How to use GNU licenses for your own
software", here: https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.en.html
In addition to the full license, it's easy to find summaries and
explanatory guides to it, on the web.
Please tell us where to find license information on
http://www.wsprdaemon.org/ or https://github.com/rrobinett/wsprdaemon .
Such information as well as acknowledgments of copyrights should be
prominently displayed. I still don't see any such information,
anywhere
on the above sites.

One of the main purposes of open source software -- especially that
with
a hobbyist motivation like that of WSJT-X -- is to provide starting
points for further development by others. It's there for you to use as
you see fit, with proper attribution and within its stated copyright
and
licensing restrictions.
