Wrong!!! It is illegal to remove copyright notices from copyrighted works.
The splash screen is exactly such a copyright notice.

If you look even at say the GPL 3 draft (section 7, point b), you will
notice that they explicitly allow authors to prevent removal of splash
screens and such as an optional addendum to the license. And that is just
one recent example.
