In a post from Search Engine Journal, Roger Montti reports that Matt Mullenweg, the co-founder of the WordPress open source content management system, says that the lawsuit with WP Engine could end WordPress.

Matt Mullenweg Doesn’t Like Being Called Out On His Behavior
Inc.com posted an article that their reporter did with Matt Mullenweg, the co-founder of WordPress. In the article the reporter, David H. Freedman, doesn’t paint a sunshine and rainbows picture of the whole fiasco between Matt (et. al) and WP Engine. Matt, in his right, responded calling the piece a “Hit Piece.” I don’t blame

WordPress Is Matt Mullenweg’s Per Court Document
H/t to Jeff Chandler finding this disturbing document. How the ever-living-f*ck did we get here. WordPress is almost 21 years old. And one man controls all of it. This is so fucked up. Something, I’m not sure what, needs to happen. One man controls software that powers 43%+ of the f*cking internet websites. Geezus. Thoughts?

Popcorn Anyone? Mullenweg Threatens Corporate Takeover Of WPE!
