> Re: the question of the Foundation being the entity in this fight rather than Automattic Inc: In my opinion, setting that up was a pretty smart pre-redirect; it gets people talking about a complete non-issue “capitalistic pig vs charity!!!!!!”. But it’s also complete nonsense.

Who’s framing you as capitalistic pig? Or is this about framing the issue as David vs Goliath, big business vs small business?

Why isn’t there more talk about how this affects WordPress as whole. If one business can come in and use WordPress in its root domain, then others should be allowed to and will. Newcomers and novices will be more likely to be confused, this could threaten the platform and its growth. It also gives some businesses an unfair advantage over others. What’s bad for the project, is probably not that good for the all the people that are able to make a living working with it.
