icecreamyou commentedThis is part of the Twitter module. When an application posts a Tweet to Twitter, it has the option to specify the application name. Last I checked, that application has to be registered with Twitter. Presumably the Twitter module specifies "Drupal" as the application.

deltab commented@IceCreamYou, it is about OAuth, as stated on the Twitter wiki: http://apiwiki.twitter.com/FAQ#HowdoIget“fromMyApp”appendedtoupdatessentfrommyAPIapplication - so registration should not be necessary?
We now recommend developers use OAuth to perform authentication with the API. When applications use OAuth, Twitter automatically knows the source of status updates. We are therefore able to append source attribution (from "[MyApp]") to tweets. If you would like tweets from your application to recieve a source parameter, please register an application and implement OAuth authentication. We will automatically include your application as the source for any tweets sent from your application.
We originally allowed applications to create a source paramter for non-OAuth use but that has been discontinued. Applications pre-OAuth source parameters will remain active, but new registrations are no longer accepted.
