To see the requirement for the non-affilation goto https://login.wordpress.org/ https://login.wordpress.org/
EDIT (to save having a 2nd post).
Looking at the HTML tags for the requirement it has the class "login-lawsuit", so guessing this is tried to the suit WPE are bringing against WordPress/Matt.
On one hand, I personally feel like Matt is trying to speed run burning all the goodwill of the wordpress project, on the other hand if you are being sued by an entity its pretty much recommended to cut ties with said entity and only deal with them via your lawyers so I can see why they would put in such a requirement.
- interestica 2y agoA previous version of the login prompt included a link to the lawsuit and this might be a remnant from that initial work.
- unsnap_biceps 2y agoGenerally the recommendation is to freeze current ties with said entity until the court case gets worked out. By aggressively targeting the employees of said other organization, you're risking it being used against you in the ongoing court cases. Regardless, .org and .com are claimed to be separate legal entities, so there is no lawsuit against .org. This is just an escalation out of a sense of moral righteousness.

- lolinder 2y ago.org is not the WordPress Foundation, it's just a domain that Matt personally owns and that is managed under the umbrella of Automattic. Yes, it's confusing.
