ACF isn’t a premium plugin (linked post only concerns those).
The linked post also might not reflect the current policies. This update was a security update and was done due to the unique circumstances around the original publisher.
- Sebguer 2y agoThe mental gymnastics you keep doing to defend your boss are impressive, and I'm sure will reflect well on your next perf cycle!

- throw16180339 2y agoThere are a lot of other employers that won't make you lie for them.
- batuhanicoz 2y agoIf you point to any lies told by me, I would love to correct them. No one has told me to come here and defend anyone. I work at a part of Automattic that is isolated from anything WordPress — I don’t have to be here. I am defending values I believe in. I am trying to make sure correct information is out there. You are free to not believe that of course.
- DonnieBurger 2y agoIf Microsoft took over an existing GitHub repo, would those values be the same?
- dmvdoug 2y agoWhat values are those, exactly?
- bombcar 2y agoUS dollar values deposited into the accounts every paycheck, I assume.

- throw16180339 2y agoAutomattic is an open source company, albeit one controlled by a melodrama villain.
- throw16180339 2y agoThe correct information is that your employer created the security problem as part of their shakedown attempt. They then banned the WP Engine developers from Wordpress so that they couldn't update the plugin. Now they've forked the plugin, removed the commercial upgrade, and renamed it. I'm not sure where values come into it. I'd be ashamed to work there.
- CrimsonRain 2y agoYou're values are doing open source dirty.

- rasso 2y agoExactly. ACF is free and open source. ACF Pro is not. Secure Custom Fields is based on the free version (ACF, without "Pro").
- luckylion 2y agoIt still uses trademarks from ACF, those are obviously not "open source", which also has been Matt's & wordpress.org's stance since forever: the _code_ is GPL, but the assets are not. If you "fork" the assets, you're not covered by GPL. Obviously it's nonsense to discriminate between the free version of a freemium plugin and a commercial plugin and this is simply a stupid way to lash out.
- maxloh 2y agoBecause WordPress is licensed under the GPL, all plugins must be licensed under GPL-compatible licenses. This applies to ACF Pro as well.
