Sounds like you're showing this statement automatically, rather than letting the user go look for it if he wants to. Of course your approach is OK for me: you're giving Eigen more visibility than I expected. As far as I'm concerned, putting that in some readme.txt file that is not displayed automatically, just sits around at a reasonable place on the "hard disk" (whatever there is in a iPhone), was "prominent" enough for me.

The problem with the iPhone is that putting a readme.txt somewhere doesn't let the user look at it only if they want to...it doesn't let them look at it at all. A user can't just open up the "hard disk" on an iPhone. There is no "file browser" like a lot of other phones and computers have (without hacking the phone anyways).

Ah I see! It's great that you have been thinking about this issue.
