@briankrebs Does Google provide you with some graphs or details about each attack? I remember reading about Akamai dropping you to stabilize their network. I am just glad Google is protecting your blog.

@nitrml he need to listen to his lawyers for sure and stop talking and making it worse by doing things like putting check boxes.

@mastazi haha. that is funny.

@Linux I understand. thanks for another POV.

@smallsees I agree. Both parties benefited financially from open-source software. Instead of creating drama, they need to act like adults and sort this out privately. Greed is always bad, especially when lots of money is involved.

The message "I am not affiliated with WP Engine in any way, financially or otherwise" on their login page seems unnecessarily defensive and childish. It doesn't paint the project in a positive light and feels like the CEO needs to reconsider such choices. I understand that life is hard and not kind to many, so I'm not going to bash him, but please get help if you get agitated so easily. It is not worth it, my friend. I speak from experience.

WordPress is under GPLv2 (or later), and there is nothing preventing WordPress . org from making money by selling services to big providers like WP Engine. Matt/Automattic could have sorted out this mess privately instead of making it public drama. Everyone knows it costs money to maintain the public cloud and repository of all WP org add-ons and themes. This situation was not handled correctly. But, then, what do I know? Right? I have never been CEO of anything.
