I don’t find it reasonable for a non-profit organization to demand payment from users to one of its donors, Automattic, instead of encouraging donations to itself.

- thanksgiving 2y agoExactly. If Wordpress dot org demanded that companies that use foundation server resources pay the foundation, I’d be ok with that. Why is automattic involved in this conversation? I generally assume other people are smarter than more competent than I am, especially successful people like Matt. That’s why I asked the question. There has to be more to the story, right? Is it as simple as Matt didn’t even talk to a lawyer before doing all of this for whatever reason?
