I don't know if it is legal,... but not really fair! Maybe it is also not apreciated!

You will find this buttons in your theme/motive foler,... depending which theme you are using,... just use a search function and search for the name of this items,... the name of the items to delete you can figure out when you do a right mousclick and take a look at the properties!

about legal I can not tell I just know that their are custom themes and their doesn't have this logos at all! So create your own or get a nice theme from the user contributed downloads,... then you do not have this and it can not be illegal,... and read the licence text found in the root directory of G2 it says:

It's perfectly ok to remove those buttons from themes that we provide. However, a third party theme may include restrictions on what can and cannot be removed.

still In my opinion should that never be deleted!!! You get a big Software dozens of people worked on and you get it for free, the only thing you give are this buttons!!! With this buttons the community might get some more supporter, get even stronger, and you will get a even more better Gallery in the future!!! ;)
Only my Opinion! but you can even modify, change gallery to your needs and then you could give the effort back to the community!!! ;)

You didn`t uderstand me- I want to delete those buttons, but I want to add in Footer "Proudly Powered by Xaraya& Gallery2" I`m using standard sirius theme- but I`ll modify it a little bit.
