Tried to get bond for an amount covering bills for two years; lol. This gives me more hope than most things I've read lately
Makes you wonder if they really thought that would work. I guess it never hurts to shoot for the moon.

#12Yes, they did use Matt's Hacker News comments against him. (p24) The more relevant outcome of WPEngine getting the injuction is in Section F (p40), which includes removing that WordPress login checkbox.
I feel like photomatt's comments are going to be enshrined in the same way the Dropbox one was. He talked up such a huge game but everyone knew he was in the wrong - we need to intercept cocky executives before they incriminate themselves in media res.

#14A real shame to see such a great legacy flushed for zero ROI.

Please don't, just let them.
Never interrupt your enemy when they are making a mistake.

Oof. This comment originally had an introduction attributing the summary to Claude and immediately got downvoted to oblivion. Now it's been edited to remove the attribution and it's resurrected (edit: gone again, so ignore me). Unintended perverse incentives...

I agree if we're talking from the perspective of his lawyers. From the wordpress community perspective, I think we benefited from Matt's extraordinary outspokenness here. It made all the bad acts very easy to bullet point in this injunction!
And maybe give the wp.org domain ownership to the Foundation, making WP a bit more reliable and resilient to one's actions.

FWIW, I (a human) read the order and this is a pretty accurate summary.
