I gave the domain Wordpress.com to Matt 20 years ago. This domain is worth millions according to some estimators online, but I gave it to him for Free to support open source.
He then sued me and I lost my job, my house, and almost my marriage.
I do not think anyone could hate Matt more than I did. I went to therapy for years, but eventually learned forgiveness.
I am confused about what is going on with Wordpress. It does look like Matt is acting like a dick.
But I am not sure he is wrong.
Matt may have a right to protect Wordpress - FOR THE COMMUNITY.
It looks like Matt’s post is about being betrayed. I know how that feels.
I love open source. I am confident that we will learn from this, and hopefully Wordpress community will be able to move on.
