This is problematic anyways, as by German law, for example, it is not 
possible to "give away" your copyright to another person or organisation 
- the only exception being if you're a programmer employed by said 
organisation. All you can give away is a license for i.e. free usage of 
your source code, but the copyright always remains that of the 
individual who came up with the code.

Thus, I doubt that even if I'd write "copyright by The PHP Group" into 
my sources, this would have any serious effect if it ever came to a 
lawsuit (for whatever reason).

I think in Austria there's a similar law, but I don't know for sure.
