```python
>>> import astropy
>>> help(astropy)
>>> astropy? # in ipython
```

includes the license info in the name and doesn't pick up the docstring.

The same problem is e.g. present in ```astropy.config```, whereas e.g. ```astropy.wcs``` or ```wcs.constants``` work fine.
I didn't check the other modules.

The solution is to always put the docstring at the top right after the license info.
