Can these 2 people just kiss so we can move on? This is ridiculous.

And the moment lawyers are involved, forget it..

This feud is the type of thing that’s entertaining when the people involved are CEOs, upper management or tech personalities with all the high school drama and pet hates, when they start changing licenses, involving lawyers and suing each other it’s not fun anymore and quite pathetic. No one looks good in this.

I mostly agree, but it is fairly ridiculous that WP Engine has not provided any support or funding to the Wordpress Foundation. I do sometimes think open source orga should be a little more proactive in requesting funding from wealthy for profits who are receiving massive benefits from those nonprofits. Not saying there should be an obligation, but it might good to do some naming and shaming.
