Maybe I'm missing something here, but isn't Wordpress open source? WPE is under no obligation to contribute source code or money. If WP is unhappy with the outcome, they should have released their product under a different license

I understand this therapy is inherently more complex, but there are plenty of medical treatments that have helped millions of people without scaling like a drug: IVF, cognitive behavior therapy, casts for broken bones, etc. Maybe I’m too op
