OSX is trying to manage a users INFORMATION, not just act as an
enormous
haphazard DATA repository.
If a user wants to update information like "the company I work for",
they should be able to do it in one place, not one place per
application.
The problem is that the information that goes in the copyright notice
of a source code file is not per user information, it's per project
information. I have Xcode projects that are my personal projects,
Xcode projects that are company projects and Xcode projects that are
owned by customers of my company. In each case, the header in the
source code should use a different name.
I would say that the best thing would be to default to the company
name in the address book but to have an override in the project
settings.
Now, whether Xcode, a "developer" application should store its
information in the "general" user information repository or not is
going
to be a matter of personal taste.
