I don't think punishing people for suing you typically plays well in court. Especially not if you, you know, publicly announce that's what you're doing.
This was my reaction as well. This sounded like tortious interference before, but to blatantly announce that he’s trying to kill someone else’s business, for exercising their legal rights no less, sounds like a summary judgement waiting to happen.
There is no dispute over the facts here if Matt is just going to announce his intents.
I cannot imagine his rage when not only does WPE not have to pay him, but now he’s paying them.
Did Matt really send you here without even explaining what the conversation was about? And then you didn't even bother to read it for yourself?
The article you wrote claims "The Foundation also licensed the name WordPress to the non-profit WordPress.org, which runs a website that facilitates access to WordPress-related software."
Matt in his comment claims "All the information in the links you shared is totally wrong. Our lawyers have never said that WordPress.org is a non-profit or owned by the Foundation."
Don't white wash a completely inaccurate and misleading statement as a typing error - that treats people like fools.
ESPECIALLY since this is one of DOZENS of recently citable instances where Matt refers to WP.org, Automattic, and the Foundation almost interchangably.
"Rushing to fix years of (intentionally/conveniently) muddy waters on org structures" is not "a typo in the past" - this is insulting to your audience.
