    the same organisation makes both, they just release a subset of their work as the open source version of WordPress. it’s a pretty standard business model for this kind of software

        Man this is like saying proton isn’t made by Valve… Matt Mullenweg was one of the cocreators of Wordpress and went on to start Automattic which is a pun on his name. He’s literally got (or at least had) the title of lead developer in the Worldpress Foundation and he’s CEO of Automattic.

            If you own a name, you can grant anyone you want permission to use that name. It’s not illegal.

        Donates some work? They open source the platform. You can pay for hosting at .com… honestly asking, what are you even mad about?

          Feels like the typical “I shouldn’t have to spend money for things!!!” attitude that goes around on here.

            What laws are being broken? You use adverbs like “clearly” and “obviously” to make your point but they’re not helpful. It’s not obvious. What is unethical?

                No, not in bad faith. Look at the comment vote counts if you think I’m being provocative about a minority opinion.

                Mozilla Corp is a subsidiary of the non profit. They put money in it. Wtf are you talking about?

                I think “undue” is subjective and you’re inserting your opinions.

                    Dude stop. You’re calling me out for bad faith but look what you’re doing. Everything you’re writing in direct response to something I’ve shared, you’re misdirecting from the intent.
