I’ll be honest, I respectfully disagree with your blocking of WPE affiliated contributors and websites from dot org. Let this trademark violation play out in civil court.

WordPress is licensed under GPL. Are we okay to say we use WordPress and promote this? Presumably yes, therefore what specifically wp engine doing wrong?

I’ve no doubt that wp engine is, as you say, a leech. But there are plenty of others and this seems all pretty arbitrary

Leave it to private equity to find a way to leech off the work, maintenance, and development of a plugin by another company. The only mistake you’ve made here is that you didn’t expose WP Engine sooner.

It’s not just WP Engine either. Because while what they’re doing is damaging to the ecosystem, it’s also very profitable, and that will condition other companies to engage in the same destructive behaviors.

I’m grateful for all you’ve done, and all that you’re doing now. A lot of people might not understand that what you’re doing is for the greater good of WordPress, but in hindsight I think they’ll understand that it was necessary.
