For the package in question here ('zope.app.folder'), ZC is in *now* way
an author:  'svn log' says that the majority of people who ever checked
into the package was not ZC employees at any point.  That change was from
one piece of boilerplate (used when ZC was the copyright holder) to
another piece (after the transfer).  For such a collectively-originated
work, the ZF is a much better placeholder than ZC:  it exists to
represent the collective interests of the Zope development community.
