[$] The WordPress mess

WordPress is the world's mostpopular opensource blogging and contentmanagement platform. In its20plus years of existence, WordPress has been something of a posterchild for open source, similar to Linux and Firefox. It introduced theconcept of open source to millions of bloggers, smallbusiness owners,and others who have deployed WordPress to support their webpublishingneeds. Unfortunately, it is now in the spotlight due to an increasinglyugly dispute between two companies, Automattic and WPEngine, that has spilled over intothe WordPress community.
