There is BeOpen attribution in __builtins__() call, that may confuse users and generate some traffic to unrelated domain.

For example:

>>> import smtplib
>>> smtplib.__builtins__
<...>
Copyright (c) 2000 BeOpen.com.
All Rights Reserved.
<...>

but beopen.com resolves to domain hosting stub page. May be this string should be changed to just BeOpen, or removed altogether.

It's part of the copyright notice, just removing it is probably not an option.

Part of the copyright notice, as SilentGhost mentioned. This can't be removed.
