It is not "magical". It is information we want users to know, so we show it to them. Part of the reason we want them to know it is legal. Part of it is to soread awareness of the FSF and the GNU GPL.

So we will keep this information in the splash screen. -- Dr Richard Stallman Chief GNUisance of the GNU Project (https://gnu.org) Founder, Free Software Foundation (https://fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (https://internethalloffame.org)
