 * I have customized the wp-admin login area to reflect the companies colors and
   logos.
 * Where I changed the WP logo to the companies logo, I have also changed the link
   from wordpress.org, and the alt text (“Powered By WordPress”) to the companies
   link, and the alt text reflects going back to the site now.
 * Is this a licensing or copyright issue? I have changed the act wp-login.php file
   and noted the change in my code. However I’m concerned, as when I have gone to
   other sites that have customized the wp-admin login area, they have kept the 
   link for wordpress.org the same, but changed the logo.
 * I want to make sure I’m not doing anything wrong by doing so.
 * Thanks,
 * Danny

 * you can edit whatever you like
 * its nice to leave a WP link somewhere, since its WP only form of advertising 
   really, but not required
 * Just remember, if you edit core files rather than using plugins or theme hooks,
   you will lose all your edits on every upgrade
