First, he did not complain. He did not even mention that in the commit message. He mentioning some other things like removing release notes, but not the license. Second, I would expect that any change that goes against the previous achieved agreement may deserve some discussion, and not blindly accepted just because the user sent a patch. Okay, I don't really care whether the installer shows the license or not... Perhaps, something like Help|License would be a better place for it.
