The problem here is that most people don't want to look at the
copyright message time and time again.  I assume the GNU people won't
shorten it so that best way of not viewing it is to have Emacs skip
past the notice whenever a GNU Lisp file is read in.
I'm too lazy to do the following but perhaps someone else will...

Add a function to find-file-hooks that
  1.  Checks to see if the input file is a GNU lisp file (perhaps by
checking on the directory location of the file or by looking for a
copyright message in the 1st line.)
  2.  Move the point and top of screen past all the copyright garbage.
I don't believe all the copyright notices are exactly the same so this
might be a little difficult.
