Imagine if GitHub or npm took control of your open-source project, republished it as their own, gaslit all your users into thinking itâs a security update, then extorted you for money because they donât like your business practices. This just happened with the WordPress plug-in registry and WP Engine (one of the most commercially successful WordPress hosts), and lots of customers and mom-and-pop shops are getting caught in the crossfire. Matt Mullenweg, successful as he is, is setting a terrible precedent for open-source software and needs to step down from WordPress and Automattic immediately. https://world.hey.com/dhh/open-source-royalty-and-mad-kings-a8f79d16
