It’s open source, there are no freeloaders, not AWS, not WPEngine, they just take what everyone else takes according to the license.
Either you have a legal case, or you don’t, everything else is just yapping. If you want to protect your business against “freeloaders”, choose a licensee appropriately.
And yes, changing the code they run is fair game, especially if nobody cares about that feature. Let’s not pretend that whatever they disabled is such a core feature of WordPress, but somehow basically none of their users cared or care about it even to this day.
Showing up a decade later, saying “nice business you got going on here, it would be a shame if something happened to it, better give me 8% of it, to make sure it is protected” is something I’d expect from a mafia movie, not blog hosting.
