@bison @lazerwalker no, the graph shows how many entities started by or controlled by Matt may be independent from each other, they are not independent from Matt.

Matt's beef is with WP engine, who has better brand recognition even though Matt's company automattic owns wp.com, so it's silly for him to accuse them of taking advantage of a brand.

Matt threatened wp engine, not his own creations which he controls. He then started to steer them in nonsense ways like the login checkbox about not being affiliated with wp engine.
