OK, suppose that I use an open core in an FPGA.  Where shall I then post the copyright notice?  What will it look like?

I could imagine it on the chip label (using rather small type), on a sticker near the chip (slightly larger type), prominently on the product label (probably small type here, too), or in the manual.

It might look something like a movie credit:
	PCI core provided by Victor H. DeLicense <vhdl@cores-r-us.com>	:->

Is this line of reasoning correct?
