Yes I am now completely lost :-)

Where have I changed the licensing model?

Your original request was to remove the CREDITS line I think. I have
done that in this patch:

http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/197314/

The above discussion about copyright message is separate to that. I
was looking around the code base for a possible replacement (shorter)
message because I thought that was what you were looking for. I found
the BSD one, but have not changed any code to use it.

So yes, please can you explain what I am missing here?

Regards,
Simon
