@Robert Lilly - No issue with Automattic, issue with the different standards that are applied when it comes to view on OS in the WP sphere. I'm all for proprietary apps, plugins, services. But if one is a huge OS proponent then one should be it all the way. No issue with John wanting to make money down the road with his proprietary stuff. Wish him all the best of luck with that. (Since making a living on donations for free open source software does not work for almost anyone =)
