As if people didn’t Clone Wordpress already, let’s call it BlogPrint
Wonder how pissy he’s gonna be when the project is forked and everyone leaves the original.
If anyone wants to see it from the hours mouth:

Sounds like a spoiled child
Trump’s disease is spreading.
Speaks at Disrupt
People try to disrupt his profit
“No you can’t do that”
Who disrupts the disrupters?
Man, this meltdown just keeps fucking going, doesn’t it. Every time I think Mullenweg has finally settled down, he does something else incredibly dumb.
Sad part is that he’s likely to get away with this pne since it’s not effecting a company with enough money to make it a legal battle.

This will not kill Wordpress outright but it might very well significantly factor into the decision of every future person deciding if they should write a plugin to support Wordpress or some alternative CMS or if they should host a Wordpress instance or something else, especially companies offering commercial hosting.
It might even lead to a project or two that will eventually replace Wordpress in its dominant position.
I think he misunderstands the label/title “benevolent dictator for life” that can get assigned to people on some really popular open source projects.
Honestly, it’s kind of heartening how infrequently they forget the benevolent part.
Humans can’t do then benevolent part for very long.
You can fake it for a bit, but by and large we’re just absolutely shit at not being assholes to each other once you get outside of your family tribe or maybe your local neighbors.
(Also having a complete mental breakdown doesn’t help, and boy howdy.)
I can’t access the link. who is he?
An asshole
remember when matt publically attacked a trans woman on twitter because she called him out about his transphobia
Hopefully he explodes with hammers and hammers go flying everywhere
So does anyone know if the fork has been implemented or not?
So, someone else forks it and then the contributors just fork that one. This is dumb gate keeping when there are other gates readily available nearby.
Pretty sure no one told this guy how FOSS is supposed to work or what licensing even means.
Best case scenario here he’s basically asking for is that the open source community forks this to a new project, stops contributing at all to the official one and since he’s announced he will literally have one developer work on this (45hrs per week, down from 4000 supposedly), the new fork becomes the defacto standard and his company is left peddling old wares full of bugs and exploits no one wants.
just filing this away…

there we go.
right before xfree86 in the file of forgotten projects that fucked-up big, and lost.

I’m about to look this up, I better not be disappointed with how they bombed their own project …
Edit: that did not disappoint
