It is cruft, an unnecessary distraction. I would really like to see this bit of marketing propoganda removed entirely from the user interface. It will probably need to be mentioned in the documentation anyway but the license is important to Free Software Evangelists not to users who want to draw stuff.
I was also a bit curious when I saw this added to the help menu. It might be better to simply call it "License"?
I don't think so. The word has unfortunately become understood in the context of software not as a `license' (granting of permission) but as a contract that takes away freedom.
"Copying this software" would be OK though.
Menu items need to be terse and succint, peferably one word so "Copying this software" would not be OK. "License" may not be perfect but it is by far the most suitable suggestion so far.
