"1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Library's
complete source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that
you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an
appropriate copyright notice" and assuming that "an appropriate
copyright notice" does "identify their use of FLTK" sufficiently.

This then permeates the rest of the licence and the additional
permission to use section 6 without having to pass on the licence
doesn't change that requirement.

Hope that's right,
