Haiku will always show whatever is needed/appropriate for its own
distribution. That our EULA is included by default obviously does not
mean that third party distro makers can use it verbatim.

If a third party wants to make a Haiku-based distro, it will be their
burden/responsibility to draft their own EULA and make sure that it
meets their requirements, including all legal aspects. This is a given.
