This is not difficult. Commercial licenses are done this way all the time. You see a page, or About dialog or whatever with various (broad) copyright notices. It shouldn't be that difficult to add a GPL notice something to the tune of "Contains software licensed under the GPL. A copy of the GPL can be found at ..."

Yeah, most people won't even read this (who really reads copyright notices), but the point it those who are looking for it will find it and know that it's GPLed and the source is available.

I'm not sure if that fits under advertising. What exactly is advertising?
