Bug Description
Can you add information about the contributors and the license(s) to the "about" dialog? I'm thinking of extra buttons that will show these infos like it's done with the GNOME Terminal Emulator.

Hello djcj,
Personally, I am not convinced that it is strictly necessary to add this information as the users that are interested in it are probably able to access the CONTRIBUTORS and COPYING files shipped with the packages. Also adding extra information in a way that is accessible to the UI will add the maintenance burden to keep that information current which is currently limited to the two text files mentioned above.
The about dialog is mainly there so that people easily find the homepage and know which version to report bugs against. I would therefore say this falls into the "patches welcome" category from my point of view...
Best regards, Adam.
