Answer

The "Powered by Movable Type" link in the default templates and the slug in the notification emails are governed by the license terms of "A Little Credit".

So, for those who hold a paid Personal or Commercial license, maintaining these credit links are optional; for those using a free Personal, or any Educational or Not for Profit license, maintaining these links is required.

• To remove the credit links from your pages, edit your Main Index Template to eliminate the following code:

  <div id="powered">
  Powered by<br /><a href="http://www.movabletype.org">
    Movable Type <$MTVersion$></a><br />    
  </div>

• To remove the credit link from your notifications, you must modify the Movable Type Perl files. The code for this is in lib/MT.pm, and you must be comfortable making changes in Perl in order to do this (as support staff cannot provide detailed assistance with these types of code modifications).
