Is it necessary to show the full license text in my game so that everyone can see it or is it just necessary to mention the name of the product’s license?
I want to use several things in my MonoGame game like a physics engine, Google Fonts and InAppBillingPlugin.
InAppBillingPlugin
For example, can I write something like this in my game:
jamesmontemagno/InAppBillingPlugin - MIT License
Or is it necessary to copy the full text in my game:

How are you implementing licenses in your games? Are there any MonoGame examples(games) in the Apple App Store or on Google Play that use different licenses?
