And the head of WordPress, who also heads a half-billion dollar hosting company through WordPress.com and who claims WordPress.org is his personal website, has been going to war against longtime WordPress developers and supports and major companies became he thinks he should be getting more money from large companies (he wants like 8% of their revenue), and if you support an open-source project being fully transparent and being governed transparently, then you are stabbing him in the back and you are not allowed to speak at WordPress conferences.
It’s fucking insane. I’m trying to move several WP sites to other platforms because something is off with him and he’s trying to trademark some terms that will allow him to go after pretty much any company hosting WordPress sites and demand a fee from them. He is mocking companies and developers who helped make WordPress what is is, and is using the official channels to complain about, his words, “masturbatory governance”.
