Mostly. My point was that whilst we should display the license
information from LADSPA effects, we don't have to do it at the top of
the effect dialogue.

If I was writing a substantial Audacity module which was likely to be
distributed separately, I probably would look for a way to add
information about the module in the About dialogue from the module
code, if only so that I could report the module version (independent of
Audacity version) there!
