The below patch removes vlan_buggyright and vlan_copyright from vlan_proto_init, 
so that it prints out just the fullname of vlan and the version number.

diff --git a/net/8021q/vlan.c b/net/8021q/vlan.c
-	pr_info("%s v%s %s\n", vlan_fullname, vlan_version, vlan_copyright);
-	pr_info("All bugs added by %s\n", vlan_buggyright);
+	pr_info("%s v%s\n", vlan_fullname, vlan_version);
 
 	err = register_pernet_subsys(&vlan_net_ops);
 	if (err < 0)

This reminds me a discussion with Harald Welte in netfilter workshop
2010.
Sometime these strings help lot guys working to fight GPL violations.

How so?
