+This software makes use of other software components whose licenses may also
+apply, which are found in their respective source directories (most under
+deps/). Among them: zlib, libpng, libjpeg, giflib, harfbuzz, freetype...
+
+The IDE also communicates with GCC for compiling (MinGW on Windows), GDB for
+debugging, and UPX for optionally compressing executables. Each of these have
+their own license which can be found in their respective documentation folder
+if distributed along with the SDK (in the case of the Windows version) or
+from wherever you obtained them.
