Hi,

We already distribute the binaries here [1], wouldn’t the simple answer be to 
package those up in an archive and include the required NOTICE and LICENSE 
files just as we do with the source? Generally the LICENSE and NOTICE files are 
also placed in the dist directory outside of the binary / archives so people 
can look at the license before downloading. Would also require making minor 
changes to the installer download page [3]. I guess the main issue here is the 
installer AIR auto update feature - do we know how many people take advantage 
of that as opposed to just downloading the installer directly? Google stats 
seem to indicate a high proportion of people go to the page (250,000+ hits). 
Just out of interest the track installer pages has been hit 130,000 times.

Having links in the GUI also sounds helpful, but those files could change and 
they may get out of sync between versions of the application. A solution would 
be to include the release version number in the path to the files.

We could also add the files to the AIR distribution and packed them up (this 
has instructions on how, look for assets [2]) but as discussed it's not easily 
discoverable.

Thanks,
Justin
