@tante I still don’t understand how this could escalate to that level …

Any reasonable organization had just sent a cease and desist saying „Hi please change your name as your names implies that we might be associated when we are not“

That’s it. On top of that he could have called them out for not contributing enough to upstream and that could have been it.

@hiiaminfi @tante AFAIK they did just that but WP Engine sent their own C+D.

@wortwart @tante what? How does that work? On what grounds? Did not hear that part of WP lore yet

@hiiaminfi @tante the WP mark has been explicitly said to not be subject to trademark by the WordPress foundation. And WPE has been around for years so it’s a bit late for Matt to whine about it
