I'm not against it if that's necessary but I'd also like to keep the legal burden to a minimum. Is that helping really? What for?

I see a majority of OSS project around without this and it doesn't seem to be a problem. Is that a case of having belt plus suspender (as we say in french)?

IANAL - Both Firefox and Chromium have ways to view dependencies and their associated licenses through the "About" menu item. I've definitely seen it elsewhere but it's often very hidden. It is a requirement when using the GPLv3 - I don't know what happens if you don't do it.
