Oh man now I realized what I did, I had originally edited MOTD to  
only show what I wanted, but I logged back in once before I set  
update_motd to "NO" therefore it changed the motd to include the  
copyright info. Since I remembered editing it I never went back to  
check to see if it was modified after I edited. With Mathew's  
suggestion I checked the MOTD and low and behold the version info was  
there, I removed it and it is not coming back because this time i  
have the update_motd already set to "NO", funny how computers don't  
know what your thinking :)
