Sure, but WP Engine will need to hire people to work on ForkPress. Or people can start a ForkPress foundation that actually includes stakeholders and get grants to work there. Someone will need to maintain the fork which is definitely coming.
After all, let’s say that WP Engine gives in and pays Matt 10% of their revenue. Then… who’s next? Can Automattic be trusted as a steward of the software, ever? I suppose if Matt sells the company it might be possible. Nope, the fork is inevitable and some company(s) will need to sponsor it.
