The whole thing is https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/3167679/advanced-custom-fields/tags/6.3.6.2 https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/3167679/advance... it's very close to functionality wise right now to ACF. Not identical, already. While I am not a lawyer it almost certainly violates the ACF trademark as the code and reviews contains a lot of reference to ACF and the Advanced Custom Fields trademark which is literally the project slug. Some suspect a request for emergency injunction might follow next week. And most certainly it also violates community trust very, very big time. This on top of the "swear fealty" checkbox on login which caused multiple high profile contributors to leave and now shut the accessibility team down https://i.imgur.com/0jCZnlm.png https://i.imgur.com/0jCZnlm.png

  They added a checkbox to the wordpress.org login page https://login.wordpress.org/ https://login.wordpress.org/ stating "I am not affiliated with WP Engine in any way, financially or otherwise.", you can't login to the site without checking it.

    And very importantly: no one knows what that checkbox means and what are the consequences of checking it.

      And Matt has refused to clarify when asked about it.

        Including in the (rather common!) context of developers who maintain sites hosted on WPE.

      Matt also bans anyone who asks about it.

  You must agree on sign up that you're not affiliated with WP Engine. WP has been having a spat with WP engine.

They even left the ACF logo in there, mate. And the menu label still says "ACF". See this video at the 3:49 mark - https://youtu.be/qFlORU3NGX0?si=_AHQIT4V7LKvecBH&t=229 https://youtu.be/qFlORU3NGX0?si=_AHQIT4V7LKvecBH&t=229
