I agree it wouldn't matter, and for similar reasons, but in a different way than you suggest.
If Robbins decided to try to take back the Gentoo project, the "winner" (IF we had a clear one)
would come down to a matter of public opinion - Do Gentoo users trust the Robbins version
or the foundation version more?
Anything beyond that pointlessly argues semantics about "ownership". Yes, either side could make this
a lawyer-feeding expedition, but it really boils down to whether people prefer Frankenstein or his monster.
