A day or two ago, I wrote a Wikipedia article about the Stack Exchange Network only to notice the new legal information pagesnew legal information pages a few hours later. Now, I want to update the article so it is as accurate as possible.

I'm not sure I completely understand who owns the Stack Exchange Network.

I see that all pages say:

site design / logo © 2010 stack overflow internet services, inc;

and that the legal pagelegal page says:

Stack Overflow Internet Services Inc. is the official name of the company, but you are welcome to say Stack Overflow Inc. to disambiguate between the site for programmers and the company.

and

The Stack Overflow and Stack Exchange name and logos are trademarks of Stack Overflow Inc. The names and logos for sites and products operating on the Stack Exchange network are also trademarks of Stack Overflow Inc.

However, I thought that Fog Creek Software has some role in the ownership of the Network. Is that true?
