Did you actually look on the output of that grep?

We have three types of MODULE_AUTHOR(..) there
1. Really old code with non-existent companies
2. People who added their names together with the company name
3. Heavy copy/pasted code

MODULE_AUTHOR is not copyright which (usually) goes to the company that
sponsored the work, but can be seen as git commit author in pre-historic
days.

So no, old doesn't mean correct.

Thanks
