I believe it is the latter. He's rebuffed multiple attempts to take over
or
even purchase the site from him. And he obviously is paying money to keep
the site up in its current form (probably not a lot, but surely more than
nothing). He rarely even responds to messages from Ada people.

People have been complaining about this for ten years, but it doesn't
appear
that we can do anything other than to encourage people to remove as many
AdaHome links as possible from their web sites (so that its search engine
position drops). For one example, link to the real home of the Lovelace
tutorial, not the (old) copy on AdaHome.

                                      Randy.
