Sorry? Their service is... their service! They can extend of refuse service to whom they want.
Automattic is releasing source code, which, in my book, is being super friendly to competitors. It seems to me you are holding the good guys (that release under FLOSS licenses) to a higher standard than any other company that keeps the source to them selves.

- ValentineC 2y ago> Automattic is releasing source code, which, in my book, is being super friendly to competitors. WordPress is a GPL project.
- cies 2y agothe code is GPL. services (like the plugin registry, but there are many more) cannot be GPL. they are served by someone and that someone pays for hosting/bandwidth/etc and that someone is free to stop providing that service (to one party or all together).
