How do I edit the Joomla Generator Tag?

While we would not generally encourage removing the Joomla! tag which appears in the meta information, we also appreciate there are some instances where this might be necessary to remove and/or adapt it, so here's how to do it!
Using Joomla! 1.0.1x, comment out the line in includes/frontend.php in function mosShowHead:

$mainframe->addMetaTag( 'Generator', $_VERSION->PRODUCT . " - " . $_VERSION->COPYRIGHT);

Using Joomla! 1.5.x, EITHER

comment out in

\libraries\joomla\document\html\renderer around line 84

or

add to your template's index.php file (within php tags)

$this->setGenerator('Whatever you want the Generator text to say - alternatively leave blank');
