This is embarassing:
Before:
> The abbreviation “WP” is not covered by the WordPress trademarks and you are free to use it in any way you see fit.
When in doubt about your use of the WordPress or WordCamp name or logo, please contact the Foundation for clarification.
After:
> The abbreviation “WP” is not covered by the WordPress trademarks, but please don’t use it in a way that confuses people. For example, many people think WP Engine is “WordPress Engine” and officially associated with WordPress, which it’s not. They have never once even donated to the WordPress Foundation, despite making billions of revenue on top of WordPress.
> If you would like to use the WordPress trademark commercially, please contact Automattic, they have the exclusive license. Their only sub-licensee is Newfold.
> For non-commercial use, you can contact us here at the Foundation.
They literally made an example out of WP Engine in their trademark policy.
