Grub reads the output of 'lsb_release' to determine how to name the menu entry. See /etc/default/grub in a typical Debian system, this line:Grub 2 reads various files for its naming system. Files such as /etc/issue, /etc/lsb-release, /etc/debian-version, and various others all contribute to what you are refereing to. There is a page somewhere written by Paul (pabs) maybe in the census that tells maintainers what files they need to change so not to infringe Debian copyright notices.
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian`You can change what lsb_release reports by providing a customized /usr/lib/os-release file, or alternatively directly edit that line in /etc/default/grub.
But yes it would also be good to check about the copyright implications. I think it's OK for a debian derivative to have /etc/debian-version, but eg dpkg vendor should be changed. Some help here: https://wiki.debian.org/Derivatives/Guidelines
