I don't think so. I think it's more so about contributions to development versus freeloading off Automattic's work than the TM stuff. I think the TM stuff is just the proxy war.

Sure seems like there’s a whole lot of “personal vendetta” to it, too.
I was always a big fan of Matt and I've especially followed it in the early days of WP. Automattic was always an inspiration as a company. - but I haven't followed it in the recent years and I don't know the current drama... my comment was more about developing an alternative solution (on Nostr for example). in a decentralized plugin repository naming and trust is the issue, isn't it?
