It could be if the leader didn't gained anything by pointing out a bad behavior in the ecosystem, which isn't the case for Matt. He runs a direct competitor to WP Engine.
- yunohn 2y agoI think it’s fair for the creator of the product (WP) to criticize competition that undermines a feature he considers important to him. He also makes a very important point about WPEngine not contributing back to the AGPLv2 codebase you are talking about.
- FireBeyond 2y ago> I think it’s fair for the creator of the product (WP) to criticize competition that undermines a feature he considers important to him That his own product ALSO gates access to, unless you pay the top tier for? I don't think it's fair to criticize the competition for that, and not acknowledge that you do the same, no.

- FireBeyond 2y agoThat's the open source project. WordPress.com, Matt's for-profit venture, gates revisions (and statistics, and plugins) behind a higher paying tier.
