GitHub - foundObjects/pve-nag-buster: Persistent license nag removal for Proxmox VE 5.x+
https://github.com/foundObjects/pve-nag-buster

pve-nag-buster is a dpkg hook script that persistently removes license nags from Proxmox VE 6.x and up. Install it once and you won't see another license nag until the Proxmox team changes their web-ui code in a way that breaks the patch.
