if we’re going by the trademark policy, it also says you can’t use the wordpress name in the name of your project or service. and arguing that “wp” doesn’t mean “wordpress” and therefore is allowed, is exactly the same as me selling “msengi

You can chop up WordPress, because it's open source. But you cant chop it up and keep calling it the same thing. Only the vanilla WordPress gets to be called WordPress... because the project called WordPress has decided that the releas

If it was just about turning off a WP feature (revisions), I would agree with you... but the author also writes: What WP Engine gives you is not WordPress, it’s something that they’ve chopped up, hacked, butchered to look like WordPress, b

You should expand on that more if it's actually unreasonable.. because what you wrote sounds exactly the same as the US. The court can issue legal subpoenas, and if they aren't complied with by the deadline specified, the court ha

Not true. After the Treaty of Paris (1783) was signed, trade between the US and UK resumed almost immediately; and diplomatic relations were reestablished in 1785. Shortly after the war (1793), when France and Britain went to war, rather th

Thanks for writing that up. It's what I suspected from my use of CoPilot. I love copilot as an autocomplete tool... but it frequently gets things wrong, and using the chat feature to ask it to complete some task usually just generates
