So? Who cares? I don't care about having to scroll a bit to see the list of 
developers. I don't understand how you propose that we should fit the names 
of 100 developers onto the screen without scrolling.

I'd agree with you there. IMHO the about box shold be big enough to not need 
to scroll horizontally to see the license. Apparently there's some reason for 
it not being so, I don't know what the reason is.
