Description:
The plugin author reporting is inconsistent within InnoDB, at least for the INNODB_LOCK_WAITS INFORMATION_SCHEMA plugin:

mysql> select plugin_name, plugin_author from information_schema.plugins where plugin_name like 'innodb%';
+--------------------------+-------------------------------+
| plugin_name              | plugin_author                 |
+--------------------------+-------------------------------+
| InnoDB                   | Innobase Oy                   |
| INNODB_TRX               | Oracle Corporation            |
| INNODB_LOCKS             | Oracle Corporation            |
| INNODB_LOCK_WAITS        | Innobase Oy                   |
| INNODB_CMP               | Oracle Corporation            |
| INNODB_CMP_RESET         | Oracle Corporation            |
| INNODB_CMPMEM            | Oracle Corporation            |
| INNODB_CMPMEM_RESET      | Oracle Corporation            |

How to repeat:
select plugin_name, plugin_author from information_schema.plugins where plugin_name like 'innodb%';

Suggested fix:
Use Oracle Corporation.
