It seems to be used once at the beginning of the monohtml books, but I can't be 
sure; the value might be hardcoded instead. Coincidentally, DERBY-2237 was just 
now filed, presumably to fix the following problems: 1) in the PDF books, the 
word "Copyright", but nothing else, appears at the top of every page; 2) in the 
monohtml books, "Copyright" by itself appears three times near the beginning of 
the book. 

I like your suggestion that instead of the proposed fix to DERBY-2237, the word 
"Copyright" should not appear at all; instead, the copyright page, which 
appears in all three forms of each book, should be the sole location of the 
copyright info.
