unfortunately it's required by the GPL 2(c):
c) If the modified program normally reads commands
interactively when run, you must cause it, when
started running for such interactive use
in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
announcement including an appropriate copyright
notice and a notice that there is no
warranty (or else, saying that you provide a
warranty) and that users may redistribute the
program under these conditions, and telling the
user how to view a copy of this License.
(Exception: if the Program itself is interactive
but does not normally print such an announcement,
your work based on the Program is not required to
print an announcement.)
GPL is pretty restrictive. There are certainly other more friendly
OSS choices - it does seem strange Borland wouldn't have chosen
one of them.
