The license text never really bothered me in gdb.log, when I consult
gdb.log I usually search for some string, so it just skips over that.
Not having the license text makes it a little less obvious in the log
when gdb has been restarted, so that might be a bit more confusing.  But
otherwise, I don't really mind your change, I'll get used to it.
