I'd like to modify the info dictionary so that the About dialog will
indicate the number of days remaining in a trial version.
Specifically, I'd like to tack on that extra information at the end of
NSHumanReadableCopyright:

NSDictionary *dict = [[NSBundle mainBundle] infoDictionary];
NSString *hrc = [dict objectForKey:@"NSHumanReadableCopyright"];
hrc = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@ (extra information here)", hrc];
[dict setValue:hrc forKey:@"NSHumanReadableCopyright"];


Is this an acceptable modification?  Are there any side effects that I
should know about?

No, this is not acceptable. As you see, -infoDictionary returns an NSDictionary, not an NSMutableDictionary. You do not get to modify it.
