"It’s currently owned by someone named “denis bider”, who presumably just likes to domain-squat on other people’s product names and provide links. "
Another slam against squatters as usual. I really really wish people would stop with that already.
Whoever Denis Bider is he has no obligation to even put up links to putty. He could sell the domain name maybe even to these people who don't appear to be "using" (by the HN and generally acceptable definition of "using").
In other words http://putty.com/
For the last time. There is no requirement to use a domain name and there never has been a requirement to use a domain name. And there are many people and companies who just sit on names and don't want to sell (because they don't need the money).
Talk to google about duck.com and see if you can buy it. You won't be able to.
Anyway he could put up a webpage as his personal blog or any number of things.
Just because you happen to have a product using a particular name does't mean you own that name in every tld (.com .net .org .info .us .biz and so on).
.org isn't even .com nor as desirable except perhaps for non profits.
