I would wonder _why_ anyone would refuse to do so. Are they that ashamed of their own software that they wouldn't want to be associated with it, or is there some legal reason that they don't want to be associated with it?
Some people are paranoid about such things, for example because it would allow people to google-mine for things they'd rather a random HR person not reading by linking names together. They use a consistent online name for non-official stuff but work hard to avoid this being linked to their real name. (Several people I know who do this are fairly active in the bi, poly, and/or BSDM communities and are justifiably worried that HR would take a dim view of it being possibly associated with their company.)
