The WordPress community is witnessing a heated legal dispute between Matt Mullenweg, CEO of Automattic and co-creator of WordPress, and WP Engine. The controversy began when Mullenweg accused WP Engine of profiting off the WordPress open-source project without giving back to the community, calling it a "cancer to WordPress."
In response, WP Engine sent a cease-and-desist letter to Automattic, defending their use of WordPress trademarks under fair use laws. Automattic fired back with their own cease-and-desist, claiming WP Engine is misleading consumers and infringing on the WordPress and WooCommerce trademarks.
With both companies alleging misuse of trademarks, the situation is set to turn into a major legal battle. WP Engine stands firm, accusing Mullenweg of making outrageous financial demands and launching a smear campaign that has hurt their business.
Could this legal fight change the future of WordPress hosting services? Watch the video to learn more about this brewing controversy, and how it may affect WordPress users and hosting providers alike.

    I think Matt Mullenweg is abusing his power and this destroyes all the trust in WP for the whole ecosystem. Reminds me of the USA freezing about 300 bln of Russian assets and then wonder why the BRICS alliance is getting stronger and astronger and is about to launch their own financial system and wants to drop the dollar asap. The whole WP community needs to drop Matt Mullenweg now. He needs to step down to let WP survive otherwise this is after the failing and never ending Gutenberg project the second nail in the coffin of WP.

    Thank you so much for sharing this! I spent countless days researching hosting options, only to feel even more confused by the end. It can be incredibly daunting, especially when you're focused on creative content and suddenly have to navigate a sea of information and technical jargon. By the way, do you have any thoughts on SquareSpace? We hear so many TH-camrs mention it, so I was wondering if it's actually worth the hype.

We stand to lose much much more money from not having open source software as a society and as professionals, than any private equity firm can stand to make from sucking markets that depend on these dry. It's abhorent that people defend this, you depend directly on opensource, your channel depends on opensource, the phone you use depends on it, the websites and you build and host depend on it

After watching tons of material of this issue, Luka is certainly not unprepared in this video. It's funny that Mullenweg sycophants accusing people who call out Mullenweg for his mafia like actions to be "shills". Did you get a script on how to troll from Automattic?

      ​@@tech-nomade Comment took me 30 seconds, producing a 10 min video takes significantly more time and resources. Regarding what is right: Matt is blurry about the usage of the two letters w p - it is not the whole problem in any way. The real legal issue is a trademark violation. Their hosting plans are or were named, not willing to check their site every day, "core WordPress", "enterprise WordPress" - without license. Same for WooCommerce. He would not push hard for the trademark violation, if WPE wasn't acting like a parasite, massively benefitting from WordPress being open source and GPL licensed without giving back appropriately. No WordPress - no WPE. Nobody contributing - WordPress falls behind. But no problem for WPE because others spend time and money to improve WordPress. The current situation is just a consequence of this behavior. 40 hours a week is ridiculous for an operation of this size. And then he also claims they did overwrite the Stripe token for attribution of the Woocommerce Stripe payment integration, which is so so shitty to begin with if true. Mindboggling to stoop so low.
