Last time I checked the GoG releases of Sierra games did not bundle 
ScummVM but use DOSBox. Thus, I would be surprised if they would put a 
"Powered by ScummVM" there. So, I think that seems fine. It would be 
really strange to give props to ScummVM when they use DOSBox and really 
should give props to DOSBox instead of our project.
