There is nothing curious here. Basic Business 101 college textbook, within the first 3 chapters of introductory concepts, will include the standard definition that “foreign” merely means the organization was incorporated in another state.

And Author Services is a California company, it’s to be expected that they would be registered this way in Florida.
