Automattic is doing open source dirty - DHH
https://world.hey.com/dhh/automattic-is-doing-open-source-dirty-b95cf128> Automattic demanding 8% of WP Engine's revenues because they're not "giving back enough" to WordPress is a wanton violation of general open source ideals and the specifics of the GPL license. Automattic is completely out of line, and the potential damage to the open source world extends far beyond the WordPress. Don't let the drama or its characters distract you from that threat.
