With regards to the banner, which includes the copyright, it is
written before the config is loaded.  It serves as notice to a user
that bootloader itself is fully loaded and ready to start.  There have
been multiple requests for turning it off.  I believe the current
standing is that it will not be turned off in the pre-compiled
binaries.  You can always edit the source and turn it off but you'll
be supporting it entirely on your own.

That said, an easy workaround is to load a UI that overwrites that
portion of the screen.  There was a discussion in the last few months
about trying to make it look like it's silent to the user when things
move fast enough.
