So why is it hosted on IP addresses associated with the foundation?

The funniest outcome to this little internecine WP fight would be an IRS investigation into the intermingling of Wordpress.org, Foundation, Automattic, Matt, etc.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention. I asked people who are helping with the infra of WordPress.org and they are not sure why Singlehop is showing "The Wordpress Foundation" for those IPs. They belong to the hosting provider W.ORG is using and this is just mislabelling on their part. Relevant people will get in touch and ask them to correct it.

And, quick side note, no one from Automattic or WordPress Foundation would ever misspell WordPress!
