In reply to Jonathan.

I'm unsure whether the concept of "the ends justify the means" was ever used for good, though.

WordPress.org is much greater than just the companies and people who contribute to the project.

At the same time, those companies and people are exact equals in the eyes of the law, and are afforded the exact same rights.

Even the playing field, basically. It's what we aim to do in Canada, at least :)
