The company that was hired to develop the Web site for George Bush’s presidential library let the license for the domain name expire and had to buy it back for $40,000, the Dallas Morning News is reporting.

Yuma Solutions bought the domain name www.GeorgeWBushLibrary.com in 2007 for $3,000 but let the license expire. Illuminati Karate of North Carolina then bought the name for $10, and Yuma recently paid $40,000 to buy it back.
