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.
