Licence Question

........

(1) all copies of the Original Code in Executable and Source Code form must, as a form of attribution of the original author, include on each user interface screen (i) the original DotShoppingCart logo, and once for each user session (ii) the copyright notice as it appears in the Original Code; and (2) all derivative works and copies of derivative works of the Covered Code in Executable and Source Code form must include on each user interface screen (i) the "DotShoppingCart Powered" logo,, and once for each user session (ii) the copyright notice from the version of the Covered Code from which the copy or the derivative work was made.

..........

I'd like to clarify the above snip from the license:  Does this mean that before an end user starts shopping or before they checkout (per session), they must view and click thru/accept a copy of the copyright notice... as in the snip below:

Re: Licence Question

No, if you are just using the software and not re-distributing the software, you don't need to show license to anyone. You just make sure the powered by logo shown at the buttom on every page.
