What's up with 'Microsoft' as the default company and copyright on project settings in Visual Studio?

I noticed that when I enter the Assembly Information dialog, for a project created in

  • Visual Studio 2010
  • Visual C#/Basic 2010 Express

...the company and copyright fields default to Microsoft (...). How odd is that? If a developer were to forget this, Microsoft practically brands software made by others as their own.

Is there some way I can change the defaults for this?

This is part of the default templates. You can add your own, or replace the defaults. For details, see Visual Studio Templates - in particular, Creating Project Templates.
