I see that, but that reading makes it a meaningless statement. Mojang owning the rights to some subset of the Bukkit source doesn't give them any more power to continue the project than anyone else. They're clearly suggesting they have some kind of proprietary interest in Bukkit that allows them to decide whether the project continues or not. The context of that quote is: > As Jeb announced on twitter, Mojang obtained rights in the project over 2 years ago The tweet from Jeb says that Mojang "bought" Bukkit, and a subsequent tweet says that they "dug up the receipt to be sure". The previously hired Bukkit devs have also said Mojang "acquired" and "owns" Bukkit.
