You can chop up WordPress, because it's open source. But you cant chop it up and keep calling it the same thing. Only the vanilla WordPress gets to be called WordPress... because the project called WordPress has decided that the release they put out is what they want to attach their name to. Someone cant come along later, make a bunch of changes, and then attach someone elses name to it.. and then go around insisting that their version is the same thing.
Most large open source projects have a trademark policy that makes this explicit. Don't know if WP has one though.
- pluc 2y agoWordPress makes those features disable-able themselves, nobody has "chopped up" anything here. define('WP_POST_REVISIONS', 0); That's it.
- rgbrenner 2y agoThey're free to chop up WordPress as much as they like Disabling a feature isnt chopping anything up. Im specifically commenting on this statement you made.
- pluc 2y agoI'm using the author's definition of chopping up. > What WP Engine gives you is not WordPress, it’s something that they’ve chopped up, hacked, butchered to look like WordPress, but actually they’re giving you a cheap knock-off and charging you more for it.
