          Man this is like saying proton isn’t made by Valve… Matt Mullenweg was one of the cocreators of Wordpress and went on to start Automattic which is a pun on his name. He’s literally got (or at least had) the title of lead developer in the Worldpress Foundation and he’s CEO of Automattic.

          Donates some work? They open source the platform. You can pay for hosting at .com… honestly asking, what are you even mad about?

              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?

                  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.
