Normally, these attribution lines refer to the source files, not the
binary files. The licence does not, in fact, apply to the binary file -
the Mozilla EULA does.

We should add the licence, with a line like:

This license applies to the Freetype library, which may be part of the
OS/2 version of this software.

No. See above. These references are explanatory, not normative.

OK.
