Yes, while I am granted quite a bit of autonomy being on the server team
for Canonical (I chose to do this entirely on my own), this has been part
of what they're paying me for, so its definitely been a "work for hire", 
and I cannot claim ownership of the copyrights.

You should, of course, put your copyright line in the files too, as it was
definitely a joint effort! However, I must ask you to change mine to 
Canonical Ltd., as putting my name there would not be legal under the laws
of the US, where I'm located.
