My concern is why does Matt care all of a sudden? The timing is … suspicious. Especially with the trademark dispute — this feels like Matt trying to shore up a defense or something.
- Lalabadie 2y agoTo have a history of trademark enforcement would be my guess, but I think we're all learning that Matt is way over his head, probably from before the whole WPE situation. There's no consistent strategy or narrative. What I got from other sources is that Automattic's finances in general are not looking too good, and this is just one very public occurence of a flailing, under qualified CEO trying to be hands-on to solve the situation.

- chomp 2y agoI’ve worked with Matt’s team while I was in the hosting industry- Matt has always cared very deeply about it being called WordPress. I’ve written recursive web crawlers to alert us on miscapitaizations for this specific issue, even 10 years ago.
