Does this mean my game must actually display the ogg libraries license inside itself somewhere (in the credits or somewhere)?
does ogg BSD license require me to post specific copyright notice?

I am working on a commercial game which statically links to the ogg vorbis libraries, so I must abide by the terms of the BSD license which comes with the libraries.
The license contains this phrase:
No. Generally it'd be in a file somewhere, such as "license.vorbis.txt" or something.
It'd be nice of you to include "This game uses the OGG Vorbis libraries available at http://foo.bar" though. Politeness and all that.

Would you do what the license says and reprint the exact ogg vorbis terms that are on the site? I was curious since it just wouldn't make much sense for me to be posting "do not redistribute the ogg vorbis binary/source" when there is obviously no way for the end-user to access these things, since they have effectively become part of the game .exe. I guess I just feel like I'm missing something.
The standard practice is to include it verbatim and refer to it in your README. "This software uses the Ogg Vorbis codecs, (c) the Ogg Vorbis Foundation. The full license can be found in the the OGG-LICENSE.TXT file in the installation directory." or something like this.
