I'm not sure what you mean, but I am not aware of the existence or not of a PHP-Nuke topic has anything to do with the requirements of the license. I thought you were referring to the copyright notice in the footer. Isn't that what you were referring to?

Yes, sorry, I got a little mixed up back there.
I was referring to the copyright notice in the footer, yes.
It took me ages to discover how to rid my php-nuke site of it.
I would gladly upgrade to RavenNuke... but I don't want the copyright notice. I wouldn't mind parting with cash -- just so it isn't there.
I intend to generate AdSense revenue with this site. It's a business that leans mightily on good SEO. I wonder whether RavenNuke is truly purpose-built for that kind of work...

I'm sorry, kguske, but I have to disagree with you on that one.
In PHP-Nuke, when you del the PHP-Nuke Topic Icon from the Icons Tab of the Site Admin Panel; the info related to the creator of PHP-Nuke is also automatically removed.
However, his info remains in the body of the code as comments. To legally remove this, I understand, payment is required.

If you have a GNU GPL licensed product that is distributed or redistributed under the terms and in accordance with the GNU GPL then you CANNOT remove ANY copyright notices at all.
In the case of phpNuke (assuming it is a GPL product), the original author does allow you to buy a commercial license, which allows you to legally remove the copyright notice in the footer BUT the copyright notices inside the files themselves MUST stay, you cannot remove them.

If you remove copyright notices without the owners permission and you have no legal argument to support their removal, all it takes is someone to complain to your web host and they will turn your account off.

I don't think he wants to remove the notices from the code. And how would anyone know?
