Joyent,

Please do the classy thing and have Isaac create a NodeJS organization on Github and move the project to that organization under his stewardship.

With great power came great responsibility and using the Joyent corporate blog to excoriate one of the community's most valuable contributors is the path to the dark side.

When Ryan originally announced the transition to Joyent, someone asked if node would be moved to Joyent's github repo. Isaac replied: "I hope not". But now he asserts that Joyent owns node, and considers it a "cash cow".
I think this was between ry/node and joyent/node, not nodejs/node and joyent/node.
Who owns the trademark?
Joyend. I mean Joyent.
