I did some mockup screen yesterday evening and implemented it in Android (even if I'm a beginner, that was rather easy to start with). It's more in the spirit 'Functionnal Code' than 'Pretty Front-end' but that could be a start.

Kieran, did you begin coding something? If not, assign this to me.
What I need now is the text (in english) that I cannot do by myself.

At the moment, it's a simple screen with the OSN icon, the application name, a welcome paragraph, a line on the license with a clickable url to http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html, another with a clickable url http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html and an accept/dismiss/continue button.

We should maybe take inspiration on what other free projects state in their welcome screen. Chris, can you help me on this ?

As Kieran said, it should be punchy and not to obtrusive if it's displayed on every start. If we need to have an explanation on how the program works, that should be on another screen, displayed only on first launchs (with a do not show again checkbox, and accessible somewhere in the menu if the user wants to read it once more later).

A clickable link to Opensatnav.org could be added too.

I'm waiting for your welcome/legal text propositions.
