No, it wasn't a dumb question.  I remember wondering about "quit" some 
time ago: if Python can see your "command" quit, why doesn't it just quit, 
instead of telling you how to quit with Ctrl-Z, Ctrl-D, or whatever?

That got me looking into it, and I discovered that EOF is the Python exit; 
and adding a string variable named "quit" whose output would be displayed 
is essentially a "courtesy" to a new user (someone like me, at the time)  
stumbling around trying to quit the interpreter.

So, I figured "copyright" was probably the same sort of thing, so I knew 
where to look.

It's never a cause for embarassment to ask for an explanation of something
you don't yet understand. It's often the only way you get to understand
it.

I've learned a lot by not caring if I look dumb.
