Just imagine how badly Media & Political Elite would have slapped down anyone 10 years ago who suggested that this would be an accepted & normalized Republican policy platform. They would have called you a liar, a fear mongerer, now they defend it as a legitimate policy (despite fact it is not just cruel, but insane).

Mullenweg presumably also had reviewed and approved WPE’s use of the Challenged Terms through the “Five for the Future” program, of which WPE is a longstanding member. Before allowing participation in this program, Mullenweg required that “[a]ny person or business currently misusing or infringing on the WordPress trademark will need to fix any misuse before their pledge will appear on the Five for the Future pledge page.” Mullenweg knowingly published WPE’s pledge to this program on wordrpess.org, thereby acknowledging that WPE was not “misusing or infringing on” the WordPress trademark.

The WordPress Foundation’s filings with the IRS, and none of WordPress Foundation’s fourteen years of publicly available federal reporting to the IRS indicates that the WordPress Foundation was compensated in any form for granting an exclusive, fully-paid, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, sublicensable license for trademarks Defendants now claim are incredibly valuable. Indeed, while the Foundation has failed to ever disclose to the IRS its ownership of the trademarks or existence of the exclusive royalty-free license to Automattic, for the past seven years Mullenweg himself executed the IRS forms on behalf of the Foundation under penalties of perjury, an apparent false certification to the IRS and public that the Foundation’s Forms 990 were true, correct, and complete.
On September 25, 2024, Mullenweg wrote a blog post on wordpress.org, stating “WP Engine is banned from WordPress.org.”40 In the post, Mullenweg wrote that “pending their legal claims and litigation against WordPress.org, WP Engine no longer has free access to WordPress.org’s resources.” The claim that Mullenweg terminated WPE’s access to wordpress.org because WPE had filed a lawsuit against wordpress.org was false (there was no lawsuit at that time), but the post confirmed to WPE and the WordPress community that it had been Mullenweg who caused WPE’s inability to update its plugins through his exercise of his self-described control over wordpress.org.
Defendants’ attacks against WPE’s CEO have also continued in private. First, on September 28, 2024, Mullenweg attempted to poach her to come and work for Automattic, and falsely suggested that WPE’s investor was making her do something she did not want to do.After WPE’s CEO did not immediately respond, Mullenweg threatened her the following day. Specifically, on September 29, 2024 Mullenweg gave her until midnight that day to “accept” his job “offer” with Automattic. If she did not accede to his demand, Mullenweg threatened to tell the press, and WPE’s investor, that she had interviewed with Automattic.
