atheist984331d@Demolishun the owner of WordPress trademark (basically the CEO of WordPress but it's a complicated open source org with some commercial stuff)

Demolishun3468031dIf you don't enforce your trademark you can lose it. It will be interesting what happens with this. The implied endorsement based upon name is not a smart thing to do I think. I wonder how many other projects are abusing the trademark?

djsumdog669330d@Demolishun They have enforced it though. Things like "WP Plans" are restricted and BlueHost/Gator/others have been paying to use it.
Wordpress can selectively chose a price for each person wanting to use the trademark (and that price can be free) but they do need to take care of every case.
I dunno. I hate Silver Lake. It's a scum asset management firm (like State St, Blackrock, Vanguard) and WP Engine doesn't give a shit.
At the same time, Matt is being a complete and total fucking moron. He could easily win this if he like ... took 5 minutes to understand the law or think about his statements. But everything he's done has been crying baby rattling.
Wordpress is garbage tier software anyway.
The WordPress stuff is digging up some bonkers skeletons. Apparently Matt likes Asians, according to his MOTHER. Wut?
