This was removed in 4.0, but replaced with a vague "in any reasonable manner" instruction, which could still be construed as meaning "don't leave it out of the credits screen." | |

If you have a credits page in the game itself, you'd typically include all involved authors/works requiring attribution (not mentioning them here would be disingenuous and bad form, albeit not a violation of license terms). | |
