Summary
'Powered by Atlassian'
Under Atlassian's customer terms, Atlassian customers may not remove proprietary Atlassian attributions or notices that are present in the Products. This may include text like "Powered by Atlassian" in a footer.
You may wish to remove Crowd version and build number from the footer of Crowd logon and other pages to prevent that information from being visible to your end-users or to avoid potential vulnerabilities or limitations from being exposed.
