I haven’t followed this whole controversy closely but I don’t see a problem with this personally. It’s aggressive but this person spent most of their life building Wordpress to what it is, giving it dedicated focus for a couple decades. Why should WPEngine or others get to suck up the money from that?

If you haven’t read the details, you should probably educate yourself before making a statement like this.

Matt’s behavior has been borderline sociopathic, and it’s actively harming people, to say nothing of the Wordpress brand itself.

Mullenweg needs to step away from WP and spend a few months in therapy.
