I think something on or accessible from the front doc page would be 
enough in most cases.  The current copyright page is just 7 lines.

A citation format could be added below and the link changed to Copyright 
and Citation Format.  The people helped would include students who are 
supposed to add 'professional' citations in the bibliography of papers 
they write.  This change could, of course, be backported.
