Not really. The Apache foundation is a discrete legal entity, with a declared constitution and legal obligations. Rich is a person; he could sell the software to anyone. He could die, and then the ownership would pass to someone. *Who* owns the copyright is important in a copyright assignment process. You are putting your trust in that person or organisation, and whoever that person or organisation passes ownership to.
