First, he did not complain. He did not even mention that in the commit
message. He mentioning some other things like removing release notes,
but not the license. Second, I would expect that any change that goes
against the previous achieved agreement may deserve some discussion,
and not blindly accepted just because the user sent a patch. Okay, I
don't really care whether the installer shows the license or not...
Perhaps, something like Help|License would be a better place for it.
