Really saddened by the FOSS landscape. Docker, Terraform, Redis, and now Wordpress. Aside from who’s right and who’s wrong, the sheer drama and rug pulls make it feel like the beginning of an end to open source as a viable business model.
- ConstrPlus8561 2y agoAll parties are making millions off open-source WordPress. Matt's team are upset because they only make tens of millions, whereas purportedly, WP-engine makes hundreds of millions. Matt gives back much more than WP-engine. All their clients are businesses also making money through their WordPress-hosted websites. I don't think there is a problem with open source and viability. It is raining money. It's simply an in-house fight over inequities in giving back to the open source pot of gold.
