One more thing. There's precedent for this: when you start an interactive
Python interpreter it tells you how to get help, but also how to get
copyright, credits and license information:
$ python3
Python 3.6.6 (v3.6.6:4cf1f54eb7, Jun 26 2018, 19:50:54)
[GCC 4.2.1 Compatible Apple LLVM 6.0 (clang-600.0.57)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> credits
Thanks to CWI, CNRI, BeOpen.com, Zope Corporation and a cast of
thousands
for supporting Python development. See www.python.org for more
information.
>>>
It makes total sense to add citations/references to this list (and those
should probably print a reference for Python followed by instructions on
how to get references for other packages and how to properly add a
reference to your own code).
