Because WordPress.org is a non-profit that is clearly being treated as a puppet for the WordPress.com for-profit business. It’s not just “they also open-source their software”. They are separate entities. It’s literally illegal and obviously unethical.
What laws are being broken? You use adverbs like “clearly” and “obviously” to make your point but they’re not helpful. It’s not obvious. What is unethical?
Nonprofit organizations are not allowed to divert undue benefits to any person or organization.
It is obvious and clear if you know the bare minimum of non-profit organizations.
Do you actually not understand the basics of non-profit organizations? If so, I’m not sure why you’re butting into a conversation about the subject. Otherwise you must be arguing in bad faith.
Comment votes are meaningless considering no one can tell if the people voting are even qualified to weigh in. Do you think the votes on r/the_donald mattered? That is the appeal to popularity fallacy
You bring up Mozilla as an example but make no effort to explain how it’s similar.
No one is allowed to use the WordPress trademark or logo for their business, except for one company. That for-profit company is not owned or run by the non-profit and the only connection is the owner/founder/CEO. Please provide some logic or reasoning why that is not an undue benefit.
Dude stop. You’re calling me out for bad faith but look what you’re doing. Everything you’re writing in direct response to something I’ve shared, you’re misdirecting from the intent.

This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
That is incorrect. Automattic donates some work to the open-source project, but they are in no way the same thing.
Donates some work? They open source the platform. You can pay for hosting at .com… honestly asking, what are you even mad about?

No, not in bad faith. Look at the comment vote counts if you think I’m being provocative about a minority opinion.
Mozilla Corp is a subsidiary of the non profit. They put money in it. Wtf are you talking about?
I think “undue” is subjective and you’re inserting your opinions.

I literally brought it back to WordPress and I was asking you to explain how your Mozilla example was relevant to the main point regarding WordPress.
It’s now very apparent that you’re intentionally acting in bad faith, because I can’t believe you could say something so obviously false otherwise.
