am I missing something or is the PLC is a bit delusional to think they have right to the ownership of the u-boot.org domain?

He "owns" it, and clearly does not want to hand it over. I paraphrase but he's not "holding the domain hostage" if he pays for it. Sounds like they are forcing him to hand it over lol.

I don't think it's clear either....I feel like it tries to imply that it was purchased with community money? If that's the case, it's understandable but really shouldn't have been registered to a person, but the charity. Things happen in small orgs though. I can understand feeling entitled to the domain, in this case.

If he purchased it and was funding it out of pocket, I agree PLC has no right to try to force him to hand it over
