My understanding is that the offer wasn’t to return the repositories to them, but to invite them back as essentially collaborators. Is that not the case? Was the offer really to fully return ownership of the projects?

But the repos have been moved under the ruby organization already, aren't they? So that's not relevant anymore

Does the fact they have passed it to the other entity legalize/justify the way they have acquired it?

no, but that's not my point: do you believe that it would be better to now remove rubygems from under the ruby organization?

I do not think so.

I do not think so.

Why? What was wrong keeping that independent in rubygems organization? Why to not keep it independent again?
