I agree that the copyright holder and licence should be there;
that should be 2-3 lines.  More details can be ``one click away.''

One click away is too fragile for me.  If someone saves an individual
macro from the browser, he should automatically save the most important
info: copyright holder, and a short licence info.

Just my EUR .01,
