If Matt tells you what I just told you, will you believe Matt? Here it is on his website, wordpress.org: https://wordpress.org/five-for-the-future/pledge/wp-engine/
This is just marketing speak and wasn't written by Matt. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ "WP Engine sponsors 11 contributors for a total of 40 hours per week across 5 teams." Doesn't sound like a lot given the money they make. Biblical ROI.
Wow this sounds so entitled. The more i read posts from the pro-automattic side, the more it sounds WPEngine is in the right. Yes its nice if people contribute back. It is however optional. Not just in the well-technically sense, but in the broader moral sense. If you give something away for free, wait for someone to build a business around it, and then say, well actually its not free, there are strings: that is unet…
But access to the autoupdates infrastructure isn't part of that deal. If wp-engine want to change customers for access to that it's not unreasonable to expect a contribution.

Also not clear to me that Woocommerce disclosed they get a commission from Stripe. That seems like a massive FTC violation.
