   My thoughts on #WPEngine and the recent #WordPress drama -

   1. WP Engine certainly act in ways that are unethical and antithetical to the spirit of open source

   2. @photomatt calling them out at #WCUS2024 muddied the waters between ethical, moral, and legal issues, and probably didn't get his point across as well as he'd have liked

   3. I'm not qualified to comment on the legal merits of the trademark case, but I've certainly witnessed people be confused by WP Engine's marketing

   Disclaimer: I'm an @automattic employee; but these are my personal opinions.
