The AboutSystem should just be listing a single copyright notice for each
package that ends up installed on the final system, whichever one that is.
So for anything that is now outsourced, those "should" get pulled in when
their packages as installed correct? If so then those should be able to be
removed from being hardcoded into AboutSystem.cpp, if/when all the
oursourceable packages are outsourced there should be little or no third
party copyright notices left in that section correct?
Perhaps try auditing a built Haiku checking the AboutSystem and look for
any that show up twice, then fix those.
