I strongly feel that a league is owned by its creator indefinitely, unless he specifically passes on the rights to it. Even a league's name is a valuable piece of "intellectual property."
Ideally, when a league's founder passes on control of the league to a new Commissioner, there will be an explicit, clear agreement on who has ultimate control over the "property" of the league, from its name, on down.
