Now this is just silly.  Personally I wouldn't do what Giuseppe wants to 
do, but what's wrong with that?  Sounds like he just wants to give extra 
recognition to people who have contributed.  (Personally I'd put all 
this stuff on a tab of the about dialog, or *maybe* even give it a 
dialog of it's own, and not put it directly in a menu in the main UI, 
but that's just me.)

This kind of poor attitude is the kind of thing that could potentially 
turn contributors and donors away.

Legal problems?  For including a name and a link to someone's webpage in 
a piece of software?  Please leave the armchair legal analyses to actual 
lawyers.  This is a legitimate mailing list, not Slashdot ^_~.
