[V4RB] Valentina Logo and Copyright info

[Charles Yeomans]

I rather like the Aqua HIG for About boxes, so I offer the following 
suggestion.  Include the copyright information in the About box, making 
it a link to another window that has more detailed copyright 
information; for example, you could include a "legal notices" page in 
your online help, if you have it.  There you can display all the logos 
and text.
