I kind of agree that throwing "ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY" on there looks bad.
:P Are we required to use that exact text under the GPL? Everything I've
read has said that you basically just have to say that it's published under
the GPL and provide the license or a link to the license.

If that's the case, we could say somthing more like:

*Website <http://elementaryos.org>*



Copyright Ⓒ 2010-2012 elementary

 *Another Name*

 *Someother Guy*

 *Awesome Developer*

 *Random Dude*

 *Rockstar Chick*

 *elementary Community*



 Designed by:

 *Daniel Foré*

 *Harvey Cabaguio*

 *elementary UX Team*



 Translated by:

 *Multilingual Lady*

 *Bilingual Dude*

 *Random Person*


And each of those names would point to the Launchpad user or team page (I
think that's how we do it now anyway).

I also almost wonder about putting the license bit at the bottom? Do we
care more about the license or the people that made the app? Another thing
to look at is if we want the "Website" text to say something else, like
"Visit the website..." or "http://elementaryos.org";.

Feedback?

Cassidy James
