As Matt Mullenweg and David Heinemeier Hansson feud over FOSS, community worries about the fallout

That’s not on WordPress to right as a wrong. When they were selling free tier users’ content to LLMs, I didn’t see them offering to pay 8% forward to users.

    Matt Mullenweg has lost his damn mind and it’s time to fork WordPress and send Matt to the naughty corner with other corrupted forked open source projects like the ones owned by Oracle.
