I for one am siding with WordPress Helpers on this issue. Just because their policy and guidelines are spelt out on the website does not give them legal right to enforce it.

Furthermore, they are going to have to prove it was damaging. Everyone here is saying that it’s to protect the WordPress project but the website is not even “damaging” their name. How do you damage a non-profit organisation? It’s about the same as flipping off Peta or creating petasucks.com. I fail to see how they are protecting the organisation the owner of WordPress Helpers even states on every page he has no association with the Foundation or Automattic.

If this was a case about him buying WordPress.io then I could see this being a meaningful fight but they don’t have the right to go after anyone who uses the name WordPress in their URL.
