Checkstyle in VFS verifies that author tags are present as that is the default setting. I don't see a checkstyle setting to enforce that they are not present. However, I believe it can enforce that it match a fixed expression.
As part of cleaning up the checkstyle results I've added @author tags wherever they were missing with @author <a href="http://commons.apache.org/vfs/team-list.html";>Commons VFS team</a> I copied this pattern from Commons Configuration as all modules are tagged this way. I have not changed modules that had existing author tags but it should be easy to do that by changing the checkstyle rule.
