It looks like it was all about the money all along.

Despite his claims that he was looking for contributions to the project, or that he was concerned about trademark use, Mullenweg's latest tirade against DHH is 'all about the money', not about Open Source, not about the community. All about MM's personal profit motive.

Seems like it will change a lot of people's perspective on his battle. Initially there might have been something in it worth listening to, but then he cut users off from updates and stole a plugin with hundreds of thousands of hours of code contributed to the community. Now he's basically admitting that it's all about how much money he makes off the project he runs and deriding DHH for not exploiting his projects enough!

I guess Matt has access to these contracts and is able to know this for a fact.

Gee Matt.. hard to tell what you're hoping to get out of Wordpress.
