Aligning Automattic’s Sponsored Contributions to WordPress
automattic.com
Automattic has always been deeply committed to the success of WordPress, dedicating significant resources and talent to its development for almost two decades. However, we’ve observed an imbalance …

Automattic will stop contributing to WordPress after reaching 45 hours a week, “aligning” its contributions to those by WP Engine, and because the lawsuit is taking up their resources.

    I’d laugh my ass off if WP Engine would lead a hard fork called WP Core. If any WP Engine folks read this, feel free to use the name, I won’t sue, I promise.

      That’s a much better name than something I was thinking.

      I just made the assumption they’d do the standard open source thing and call it Libre-something.

      I’d pay actual money to see the meltdown Matt would have if it was forked and called WP Core.

        To be fair, Matt is providing meltdowns regularly and totally free of charge. 😂
