1. WP Engine certainly act in ways that are unethical and antithetical to the spirit of open source

2. @photomatt calling them out at #WCUS2024 muddied the waters between ethical, moral, and legal issues, and probably didn't get his point across as well as he'd have liked

Disclaimer: I'm an @automattic employee; but these are my personal opinions.
