Please don't recommend that people do this.  It makes things a lot more 
difficult down the line.  I don't know of any countries where you can 
transfer copyright by just putting "(C) Gnome Foundation" at the top -- 
it generally requires a contract, if it is possible at all (some 
countries just allow exclusive licensing of a copyright).

All you end up with is incorrect copyright information, which makes it 
much more difficult to track down the copyright holders if we want to 
change the license in the future.
