Matt Mullenweg looking weirder by the day as WordPress.org now requiring anyone who logs in to certify that they are "not affiliated with WP Engine in any way, financially or otherwise."

(Also IANAL but couldn't this provide weight to a claim of 'actual malice' on Automattic's part?)

[h/t @da_667 @ infosec.exchange/@da_667/11327 in a much funnier way]

@FeralRobots @da_667 “I am attacking them because they don’t contribute, and banning them from contributing” is a look all right

@eaton @FeralRobots He's also explicitly refusing to answer about what "affiliated" means, telling people to consult their own lawyers or WP Engine about it!

@adrienne @eaton
It means whatever he needs it to mean in any given moment.
(Reminds me of something my first lead dev used to say, when we'd complain to one another about our direction from product management: "'Vague' is not 'flexible'!")
