They are both "hurt" financially but that's the competition which is normal and which should drive more innovation and lower the prices for customers.

He is throwing things around like: "it's tragedy of the commons", "they are evil capitalists" etc. etc. In another words he wants to "hijack" their market share as they supposedly "hijacked" WordPress' brand, logo or whatever.
