Gerv will fill in here, but I guess that would imply that there was a Contributor agreement between the Foundation and that legal entity. I guess the "paperwork" that Gerv referred to earlier in this thread is just that. It might imply that that entity actually had to be a legal entity both wrt local law in Armenia and Mountain View.
