FYI - copyright attribution not specified in belkin product

Just a friendly heads up, a Belkin app for a product called wemo was failing on Android, so I examine the log with logcat and found that it's calling code from this project. I read your license to see it was the 3 clause BSD. I then read the wemo legal text to find that they direct users to visit belkin.com for open source copyright attribution. When I visited their site, I found their open source attribution page and the requested copyright attribute for this project was not listed. They don't offer code for this product, but this likely falls under the redistribution of binary form clause of your license.

Here's the stack trace from their product:

Here is their copyright attribution page. wemo products are not listed. I could not find a separate wemo legal page. http://www.belkin.com/us/support-article?articleNum=97444

Sorry to bother you if you don't want to enforce the license. I just figured I'd bring it to your attention.
