>> 
>> “Removing or obstructing the appearance of this notice is not nice and for the rest prohibited by law. Reading fine print can damage your eyes.”

>> 1) The use of “and for the rest” bad English. It should rather be: “is not nice and is prohibited by law”
>> 
>> 2) The last sentence should be: “Reading THE fine print …”
>> 
>> 3) On a less grammatical note, I would suggest replacing both sentences with simply: “Removing or obstructing the appearance of this notice is prohibited by law.” based on these arguments:
>> a) Keeping the copyright notice brief and to the point. (The entire two sentences could optionally be removed, as they are not required in GPL)
>> b) Avoiding humor in a serious text.
>> c) Humor may put some people off. It’s culture dependent and serious businesses may find it unprofessional and possibly offensive.
>> d) Paraphrasing the text you’re “not allowed to remove this joke by threat of legal action”. That’s tacky.

>> Keep up the good work! :-)
