Actually, the intro screen randomly cycles between three different sets
of messages:

    "Help poor children in Uganda!"
    "type  :help iccf<Enter>       for information "

or

    "Sponsor Vim development!"
    "type  :help sponsor<Enter>    for information "

or

    "Become a registered Vim user!"
    "type  :help register<Enter>   for information "

Closing this, since it's not a bug.
