I used to study news, which meant reading a lot of it, so maybe I'm not representative, but I immediately noticed that.
Whoever tastefully drew their logo in lowercase might've warned them not do it as all-caps elsewhere, if they were aware of the US brand issue.
If I had to refer to this brand name in text, such as in specs, I wouldn't do all-caps like they have. (To US people, who may be familiar with the toxic brand from written news, US journalism style guides tend to put initialisms and acronyms in all-caps, unlike in parts of Europe.) I would capitalize only the first letter.
The answer is in the link you clicked: U-boot will be maintained as the open-source project it is, with some engineers previously working at Denx going to a specific different company with the express purpose of supporting U-boot.
The founder and owner, Wolfgang Denk, sadly passed away in 2022. https://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2022-October/497955.h...

For those missing the reference, NAMBLA is the "man/boy love association" (as in pedophiles).
It's also the name of a mathematical vector derivative operator (∇).
Interesting, I only knew it as the del until now
I mean, North American Marlon Brando Look-Alikes are not that bad.
Doesn't most of the embedded Linux world run on u-boot? whats going to happen to that market now?

Seems that it will be maintained by those using it (eg: companies and hobbyists alike)
