And the fact Matt won't explain what the checkbox means is very telling. How are people meant to know if legally they can check something if you don't tell them what you mean?
Like, honestly, a WP-Engine-maintained fork seems like a... not-improbable outcome of all this nonsense.
One cannot sign away individual rights that the state reserves control over, likewise an open-ended threat doesn't mean anything because you can simply just say "I thought it meant something else."
This is a game that can only be played by people with lawyers though.
WP Engine has those lawyers. But also, there is a good chance of a class action because it affects so many people. I've seen talk of a class action but I don't know how much is just talk.
