The licence does mention using it, in "Your use of this software code
is at your own risk ...", so I doubt we can include it in "display".
If S3.rb is from
http://developer.amazonwebservices.com/connect/entry.jspa?externalID=135&categoryID=47
(which it looks like at first glance in the tarball) then it claims to
be "New BSD" which seems very untrue, comparing the S3.rb licence to
http://www.debian.org/misc/bsd.license
Anyone got a good contact for relicensing at Amazon Data Services Inc?
If not, I'll try the EricW@AWS link on the above page next time I
remember.
