It is quite confusing since the .org devs are employees of Automattic, the Anti SOPA blog post is on wordpress.org ( by Jane Wells) YET the main register/referrer for wordpress.com is godaddy.

So you have .org with an anti-godaddy link and .com with a pro godaddy link...

ps. I understand godaddy eventually caved into a press release..but comon.

Some core developers, including me, as well as the vast majority of core contributors, are not employees of Automattic.

To reply to your PS: Something tells me that if WordPress.com uses GoDaddy, they have a bit of leverage there.
