From drama to opportunities
But that’s a smaller point. The bigger one to me is this: “WP Engine made the risky decision to base its growing business on a site to which it has no rights or guarantee of access”. The site referenced here is WordPress.org. This is a site that, to a first approximation, everyone had believed was part of the WordPress community before this whole mess kicked off. Mullenweg’s legal team seems to be arguing that it’s risky to rely on WordPress.org. The problem is, everyone using WordPress relies on WordPress.org.
