As I understand it, WordPress Foundation's board can revoke the license if Automattic is no longer a good custodian of the brand.
It makes sure even if Automattic is no longer in good hands, the Foundation can protect the WordPress brand from Automattic.
(I work at Automattic but did not specifically checked the details of the trademark agreement)
- rideontime 2y agoThe lawsuit asserts pretty vehemently that it's "irrevocable."
- cdolan 2y agoIt quite literally states in the document that the trademark is irrevocable
- rideontime 2y agoWhich document are you referring to?
