No, that certainly is an option. Relocating the credits to somewhere
reasonable for a particular installer is just fine with me.
Let's see what the Debian people say about showing the complete credits
in the preinstall screen during interactive installation and scrolling
through them automatically in a non-interactive one, for example.
I think the response will be "but it's still non-free" :P
Also, if every software showed their credits, there would easily be a ton
of them.
This is bad why? They could be interesting for users to read while the
install proceeds.
I wouldn't mind it. However, it could get out of hand if we had
three-four-five screenfulls of credits during every boot. Then it's time
to /dev/null again...
