Dare Obasanjo on Nostr: WordPress hit the same problem other open source cloud software like Redis, MongoDB ...
WordPress hit the same problem other open source cloud software like Redis, MongoDB and ElasticSearch have.
You do a bunch of R&D only for another company to host your software and provide the same or better service with your free labor.
Usually companies change licenses in response to this form of asymmetric competition. It’s unusual to first demand a portion of revenue and then sue for trademark violations instead.
The business impact on Automattic/WordPress must be non-trivial
