Just curious: Why the first comment of a source code file has the style /*M ... M*/? Why 'M' is used?

Actually there should be some historical reason for that I guess, since newer ones do not have that ...

I have found the /*M ... M*/ in the licence part, like here or here So I suppose it is for docs generator, but I am not sure (I just suppose...)

It is practically in each file out there and must have a meaning but google cannot help me...
