For Wordpress, that person is named Matt, and he's one of the co-founders. While we've all thought of this as a community project, Matt has a company, AutoMATTic, and a nonprofit that play key roles. There are many companies that specialize in hosting Wordpress sites, and Automattic is one of them. One of their biggest competitors is WPEngine. Automattic holds the trademark for Wordpress, but everyone has been allowed to use WP in their branding. The way the law works, if you don't defend a trademark, it can be difficult to enforce in the future. While Automattic probably couldn't win a trademark lawsuit against WPEngine, they were hoping to pressure WPEngine to pay 8%(!) of revenue to Automattic. Then when WPEngine refused, Matt went ballistic and has engaged in a daily campaign of attacks against WPEngine, who are now suing Matt and Automattic. ======================================= Something Strange https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GRjVc2TZqN4&t=4s ************************************************** article links: https://www.reddit.com/r/Wordpress/comments/1g2jo1j/explain_me_the_wordpress_drama_like_im_5/ ====================================== Today is for push-ups and Programming and I am all done doing push-ups Discord https://discord.gg/MYvNgYYFxq TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@strangestcoder Youtube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCe9xwdRW2D7RYwlp6pRGOvQ?sub_confirmation=1 Twitch https://www.twitch.tv/CodingWithStrangers Twitter https://twitter.com/strangestcoder merch Support CodingWithStrangers IRL by purchasing some merch.
