move /etc/copyright to /etc/copyright.original

touch /etc/copyright to create a zero byte file.

Or...
Comment the cat /etc/copyright in the /etc/profile.

Many options, though what I mention will affect other types of sessions as well as CDE.

Hi Paul,

1. You can disable in /etc/profile
----------------
# This is to meet legal requirements...

cat /etc/copyright
------------------

Put a # before cat.

2. move the file /etc/copyright
# mv /etc/copyright /etc/copyright.bak

Cheers,
Raj.

Hi,

CDE copyright message could be disabled using
# mv /usr/dt/copyright /usr/dt/copyright.bak

I think the /etc/copyright is a system wide file.

Just wondering why you want to disable for CDE???

The copyright message is invoked by CDE from the /usr/dt/bin/Xsession file. To disable the message you need to create a file in /etc/dt/config/Xsession.d that redefines the dtstart_hello variable to null.

So, for example create file:
/etc/dt/config/Xsession.d/0005.no_copyright

and add the line:
dtstart_hello[0]=" "

I suspect that you will be violating licensing agreements if you do not display the copyrights.
