Yes. I bought buildroot.net in early 2009, and some time later (mid 2009 I
think) the owner of buildroot.org transferred control (not ownership)
over to us.
I've used .net addresses in the announcements since 2009.

The reason for .net is mainly historical, and because of the (slight)
risk that Earl Levine (buildroot.org owner) will run away with it. i
don't feel strongly about it, but .net atleast matches busybox.net ;)
