I had discussions with mpg on this same topic when I added mrsid support
to ms4w, and he informed me that I must include the following license text:
*****

So actually when you install ms4w a file 'mrsid-license.txt' lives at
the root, and the README section of MS4W's license contains that
declaration as well.
