Yeah TIL and now I’m done with that

Overcast is at least independent, so I’ll go back to them for now.

They’ll need to start from a new code base that isn’t GPL, then.

Are you an employee? I’ve seen a bunch of comments like this on various forums. Is Matt telling his employees to spin the folks who left?

Edit: it seems like he is. Wow.

90% of Go code isn’t CPU bound so that’s irrelevant.

They changed the URL and didn’t immediately set up a alias, so people were hitting an error page for a bit.

I guess whatever mediocre blogging software they’re using didn’t handle it automatically, or maybe they just don’t know how to use it.

They can’t. All Wordpress plugins are required to be GPL, like Wordpress itself, and like the software Wordpress itself was forked from. The viral license they agreed to is working as intended.

I don’t know what people are actually paying for.

They forked an open source plugin and changed the affiliate code in it along with their other changes. How could that be illegal?

We’re way into “negative sum” territory by now.

He’s neglecting his child to have a fight with his neighbour.

What blog was this?

Matt’s agents post in so many different places it’s hard to keep track.

Edit: found it. Wow. This guy has the worst lawyers. https://automattic.com/2024/10/02/wordpress-trademarks-a-leg...

You’re welcome to your opinion, but my company is in the market for a large enterprise CMS management contract, and this situation has taken every WordPress option off the table due to uncertainty about the business and technical stability of the ecosystem. I highly doubt we’re the only ones feeling that way.
