The problem isn’t GPL or code, it’s a trademark and trusting issue.

Pathetic. I guess this is a GPL violation? I mean, taking over a code in a directory with million of customers isn't “forking it”, right?

Gutenberg is atrociously bad for blogging types — and there are a lot of blogs out there. I agree that WP needed an official page builder, but it doesn’t belong in the core; it should be a plugin. Btw, Gutenberg is a plugin and its rating i

Frankly, he and his mother[1] are the only people I know who confused WP Engine for what it’s. Also, if confusing hosting services and WordPress FOSS project were a real concern for him, the first step should be change the name of his own W

Honestly, what really disappoints is how PH is easy to be dominated by questionable trends — once it was NFTs, then web3, nowadays it's hard to find a non-AI popular product over there.

It’s only theft when people copy data from companies. The other way around is ok, I guess.

Under GPLv2, WP Engine has no obligation of pay the ransom Matt is demanding no matter the revenue they make.

He is allowed to say that, but not in the project's site, less alone without a previous discussion with the community which, AFAIK, didn't happen.

I guess access to plugins is way more WP DNA than post revisions, and yet Matt's own WordPress.com restricts access to plugins to more expensive tiers only. (Not to mention the “confusion” he mentions regarding WP Engine, which is expl

I never said he violated GPLv2. I'm just saying that his behavior is damaging the project. As a leader, he's bonded to a responsibility to guide and nurture the community. Attacking a participant of said community for no reason (o

It could be if the leader didn't gained anything by pointing out a bad behavior in the ecosystem, which isn't the case for Matt. He runs a direct competitor to WP Engine.

Have you tried SSGs? For simple blogs, like mine (blog post author), it's so good: easy to maintain, to understand, and to manage. Way less features than a proper CMS, but for a simple blog they are enough. I use Jekyll, btw.

Author here. The main issue at play is that Matt used the blog of a GPLv2 project to attack a competitor of his own for-profit venture for playing by the rules — disabling revision posts is an official and documented WP feature. The point i

Using .org blog to attack an Automattic rival is unacceptable. Matt must resign from WP leadership and focus on his business — and post this nonsense over there.
