The new normal
The feud between Automattic CEO Matt Mullenweg and rival web hosting firm WP Engine has led Automattic to create a website that lists WordPress customers who have moved their site hosting away from WP Engine and those who haven't.
The CEO contends that WP Engine should pay because it fails to adequately contribute back to the WordPress project. And to pressure the company into doing so, Mullenweg supported steps such asfrom WP Engine alleging attempted extortion, libel, interference with contractual relations, computer fraud and abuse, and unfair competition, among other claims. A hearing on WP Engine's request for a preliminary injunction is scheduled for later this month.
