Actually Microchip is also copying from Microsoft's template.
I could not find the CDC-ACM inf template from Microsoft
website now but I clearly remember I saw it somewhere.

Other companies does not really put Copyrights on the inf file
for usbser.sys, for example, look at the following file from ST.
http://www.st.com/stonline/books/pdf/docs/12571.pdf (page 5).

Another example (old format).
http://www.lvr.com/files/usbcomport.txt

So it is probably okay to drop the copyright line. On the
other hand, even if there is the copyright line from Microsoft,
I think you can still redistribute it. But I am not a lawyer but
a hardware engineer. ;-)
