Matt has muddled the waters on open-source.

He owns a for-profit company, and has a lot of power on the non-profit open-source version. And he's making decisions that affect both.

Open-source contributors who only want to help the nonprofit are now being forced to opting in/agreeing to be part of the lawsuit. Everything in the WP slack where volunteers participate is now part of legal evidence.

All of this only benefits Matt.

1/10th of his company resigned. Volunteers are pulled in and having to decide if contributing to open-source is worth all of this.
