When I said "they owned bukkit" I didn't mean they founded it, just that they were at the time of the controversy the owners of bukkit. Them taking it over isn't mutually exclusive with owning it.

Also the controversy I was referring to was back in the peak of bukkit's use, and they had owned it for some time before that peak. I'd wager the controversy was a much larger component of the fall of bukkit than them "plucking it apart" considering it was a product they owned and wholly benefited from it being the defacto standard at the time.
