This is blatant cybersquatting. .se domains are subject to UDRP (I believe) and the owner has clearly demonstrated 'bad faith' by attempting to sell the domain for a high price. All that would be needed is for Dries or the Drupal Association to file a UDRP compaint and an arbitrator would almost certainly order the domain transfered as this is clearly 'bad faith' and TM infringements - some of the main reasons for successful UDRP complaints. Under no circumstances should this guy be paid IMHO. Maybe the Drupal Association should be involved in this?
