   Where is the Wordpress.org board to force him out? It seems he’s harming the project and the foundation much more than his company.

   I get the frustration, that it’d be nice of commercial entities that use our software to do more to support its development and maintenance, but that’s not in the license. A good project will create a healthy ecosystem with sufficient voluntary influx of resources. If it doesn’t, then maybe it’s no longer healthy or viable.

   There will be a time things like Python, FreeBSD, Linux, MySQL, and so many others we know and love, will have been surpassed by new successors better adapted to that time. We’ll cherish their memory, remind everyone of their role in taking us to that future, and move on.

      You should have a look at who is or was on the Foundation Board. Matt, a buddy and some other AWOL friend.

      And he has said “I am WP.org, it has nothing to do with the Foundation” which is weird because the Foundation hosts it.

      All of these entities have been very … fluid … when it comes to how Matt chooses to utilize them.
