[Mediawiki-l] Changing gnunote and fromwikipedia/sitesubtitle

Hi,

I have set up an installation of MediaWiki for internal communication
within a development team. This is an experiment, but I think a Wiki
is an excellent tool.

I now would like to customize the appearance to better fit this
application. Most notably I wanted to remove the line "..the free
encyclopedia" and the note about content automatically being
licensed unter the FDL as it is not true in my case.

Question A: Is this legal under the license governing the use of
             MediaWiki?

Question B: How do I do it?

I tried changing the text in languages/LanguageDe.php to blank or to
something else but this had no effect on the output. I grepped for 
"Wissensdatenbank" as it appears in my output and it is nowhere to
be found but still appears on my Wiki-Pages in the sitesubtitle.

Is that text stored anywhere else where I (or my grep) didn't look?

I could also change the templates but I'd rather not from fear of
breaking something.

Ciao, MM
