/usr/src/linux-2.5.59/COPYING:

If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this
when it starts in an interactive mode:

Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author

This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.

(btw - thanks for bootsplash, looks pretty cool.. ;)
