Freeimage isn't free in this sense, you must advertize for those guys.
They want to show how cool they are, with this copyright-message.
Peter,
I thought Simple Windows was a graphics animation library. FreeImage is for image management. (Photoshop like API)
You don't have to display the built-in copyright string to use it. It is only a convenience function you may want to use in your about dialog.
Like SDL, FreeImage has very few restrictions with its use. (
