In reply to Jon.

Actually, Jon, this was one of the reasons we went about registering the domain name we did and pursuing this case until it no longer made sense to do so.

Despite what quite a few WordPress Lovers believe, I too love WordPress. I'm concerned, though, that they have not done a good enough job of defending their marks to date, and I saw an opportunity to both use the legal loophole (they had no mark and in fact do not yet have one that is applicable to dictating use of the nine letters, AND would lose anyway under the tenets of nominative use as already decided legally by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals), and to compel them, moving forward to do a better job.

I know, that sounds like an opportunistic statement, and in part the first half certainly is. But it's also true, and while I never discussed any of that publicly until we made our agreement, I DID discuss it both with my inner circle and with WordPress' legal team.
