Game has copyright for no reason
I created a game by myself but when I made it a Mac Dashboard Widget, when I clicked on the "i" it came up with copyright 2008 unity and physics by AGEI instead of copyright by me
i in iPhone or iAnything is a trademark thingy right? Guess their market "spirit" is spreading like a virus just by pressing the button
@Proclyon: No, the "i" is an info button. $$anonymous$$ost widgets have one.

The Unity license requires you to include the Unity and Ageia logos in the widget. (You did not, after all, create the game by yourself--you used an engine.)
Do you need to credit the farmers, and water company, who provided you with the bodily resources to complete the game too?
@Jessy: ;) That doesn't follow logically. If you used someone else's work, you should credit it. As a quick example, if you're using Safari, go to Help -> Acknowledgements. You'll see a substantial list of the technology used; Apple didn't build it themselves. You wouldn't add a third floor to a building where the first two floors were already complete and claim you built the entire thing yourself, I trust.
I'm not suggesting that you can claim you made it yourself. I'm saying that it's completely impossible to do anything by yourself, and so trying to credit everyone and everything that was necessary to make the finished product, is a futile effort. It's ridiculous to be forced to credit a subset. It's Unity's license, and so they can do what they want, but it just seems pompous to me.
I think the difference between things that enable you to do work (food/water) and things which have done work for you (Unity) is obvious.

Are you using the free version? If so, you will see a Unity splash / copyright notice.
