FYI "Developer setting" is not visible in production. Not sure if it still requires license info?

Well, it would be good if all the icons (and source code for the icons, since I'm guessing it is code (vector) and not ppg/jpg) were mentioned somewhere, or if it is made specifically for the app, just think of it as part of the app itself, and be part of the apps license.

@JMinor we need final copy and placement for this

• Fjalapeno assigned this task to • JMinor.Feb 19 2016, 6:25 PM

@ZhouZ can you take a look at this and let me know (email is okay) whats in line here. You can see the About page by clicking the Settings gear in the beta and scrolling down to about.

My suggestion is to have a new section called "license" with a short note about code and vector graphics license.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention @Josve05a! We will be making a change to the About page to add more information about the licensing.

@JMinor are there mocks or final copy for this?

No mocks... its just a block of text to be added, no visual changes:

This should appear in the About page and replacing the current "repositories" section.

This looks weird now because the link in the previous section is Licenses, so it's confusing. To make this clearer lets split the changes into two sections (after the Libraries Used section).

Yes looks good but please provide hyperlinks for the licenses. They proper ones can be found in Josh's note above from Fri, Feb 26, 9:13 PM.

@Josve05a oh they are in the full list:

(tap image for animation)

@Josve05a OH I see what you mean! Will update!

@ZhouZ @Josve05a the licenses are now all available in their entirety in a separate menu if you tap on the Licenses link:

e.g. AFNetworking:

oh you mean for the app's license? we can link to the file on GH if that's sufficient

Ok I got the links added:
