Tl;Dr is that matt mullenweg saw that other people were making money from free open source software, and his capitalism boner is trying to fuck everyone over.
He has control over both WPEngines competition and the non-profit Foundation, and is using his Foundation position to try extort his for-profit company's competition. Typical CEO behaviour.
This whole drama makes me wonder if it's only a matter of time till I have to migrate my company away from WordPress.
Man, fuck matt mullenweg

Honestly, Wikipedia doesn't avoid this. People constantly game the rules to remove or change content that doesn't suit them. I recall an instance where employees of a company were busted editing that company's page, they were caught because there were so many different editors all from the same corporate IP. And that's just the low hanging fruit that makes the news - I would wager there's 10 instances that never get noticed for each one that people spot.
Ah yes, a 650k company for a company making billions.
Proprtionate to my own income, that's like $50 fine. Pathetic.
If Im reading the GitHub history right, this PR was accepted at age 3 years and 1 day? Guess the cake worked!
Basically, he's a CEO and therefore thinks every dollar on earth is his by right. I think the best summary is that he's using his competing positions at the non-profit foundation to benefit his for-profit company.
