Bug Description

Just casually clicking in the about kicad box information tab.
Clicked on Repository with additional component libraries. This directs to www.kicadlib.org which is a german Wordpress based site about some trading legalese, not the KiCAD libraries.
Might be worth either reclaiming the domain or changing the hyperlink destination to the Github repository for the libraries.
Also while changing the about box information one might want to update the copyright information to (C) 1992-2017 KiCad Developers Team.

It's been removed from the stable branch and will be updated in the
upcoming 4.0.7 release.
