yeah. Nobody cares about WP Engine, they care that Mullenweg is randomly fucking with the plugin and theme repo that everyone depends on. If WP Engine disintegrated into dust tomorrow, Mullenweg would still be the guy that fucked with the repo that everyone depends on.

#4“WordPress powers roughly 40% of all websites”
Is that true?
They say it is … https://wordpress.org/40-percent-of-web/
As far as I can tell, the stat is for websites whose CMS is known, which is a far far smaller number.

#6Headlines like this are reinforcing Matt’s narrative that this is somehow about private equity. Does anybody believe that he’d be acting any differently if they had different ownership? He’s jealous of their revenue and success and is willing to resort to criminal measures to take them down.

#7I hope Matt loses his pants but that would be a horrific sight I would only wish that on Putin.

we don't know what he has extorted from other non-private equity funded companies.

As I understand it, Mullenweg has explicitly said in his video interview [0] that no other company is currently paying an 8% license fee. The WordPress Foundation trademark policy page [1] states (since Sep. 24) that its only commercial sublicensee is Newfold Digital, and Mullenweg mentioned this in the same interview, but I don't think that the sum that Newfold pays has been disclosed anywhere.

If we can trust data from websites such as https://w3techs.com/ then yes, it must be more or less true.
