Not that a large corporation would ever do this, but you could imagine an indie company that cared setting up a trust with a few thousand dollars of the initial revenue, and that could pay the bills indefinitely using the interest.

For a large company, that money could've been a few micropennies back to the investors, so obviously it's silly to imagine. Also, if they really cared, they'd release the server code so others could run it.
