Problem/Motivation

The settings screen contains a checkbox labeled "Show a link to the privacy policy". This doesn't seem to do anything. When looking through the code, the HTML snippet it adds contains a link to the URL https://akismet.com/web-service-privacy-policy, which doesn't actually exist. It would seem this is actually a quick and dirty find-replace from the similar functionality in the Mollom module. AFAICT, Akismet does not actually have such a requirement.

Proposed resolution

Remove the setting and its associated functionality. Also remove any other reference to the privacy link; e.g. the readme references it as well.

Remaining tasks

  • Create merge request
  • Consolidate README (see comment #6).
  • Review
  • Commit

User interface changes

The configuration option "Show a link to the privacy policy" disappears.

API changes

None.

Data model changes

None.

Trying to fixed conflicts made me realise we lost some content from the README through the latest few issues updating it. I committed the version from this branch in addition of the new README.md, but they need to be consolidated before this can ge merged.
