FWIW I subscribe to the belief that corporations can't be authors,
so I'd personally opt to remove these MODULE_AUTHOR()s completely.
They serve no purpose, strange legal aberrations aside, corporations
are not persons and not being sentient can't take pride in their work.
This is not a MODULE_COPYRIGHT() macro. In the legal tradition I grew
up in the authorship rights are inalienable and we should not encourage
acting otherwise.

+1, this cargo cult should die.
