Ridiculously petty. I genuinely wonder how the fuck Matt and Automattics lawyers are gonna argue him out of this shit, because this is pretty much just giving free arguments to your opposition when it comes to arguing that Automattic is self-dealing.

They've already made their argument: WordPress.org has nothing to do with WordPress, Automattic or the WordPress Foundation. It's owned and operated by Matt privately solely out of the kindness of his heart and his love for open-source.

  Who is paying the WP.org hosting bills? Is that coming from Matt? The Foundation? Automatic?

    Ignoring direct monetary costs, if WordPress.org is wholly owned by Matt (not Automattic) and he's directing Automattic resources to maintain the site, is that not some kind of violation of fiduciary duty to Automattic? He's using company resources to maintain a personal project.
