Given that Bookeen has clearly stated its own development of Boo Reader and has stated the info on Mobipocket, I presume that Bookeen would make a more complete statement of copyright AND GPL if there were a 'scrolling' display capability. I think maybe Bookeen just wanted to put the most important information out there. Of course, they could, at some point, create a series of dialog boxes which display the various copyright and GPL statements.
