WP Engine sent "cease and desist" letter to Automattic

Well I’ll be ready to watch the lawsuit for trademark infringement then. Except there won’t be one because there’s no chance that’s trademark infringement. All the statements on the website of WP engine (as I currently see it of course) don’t imply any affiliation with the Wordpress trademark owners and are pretty factual. Do you have some more explicit reasoning for statements on the website that you find infringing?

Exhibit B, C: https://automattic.com/2024/09/25/open-source-trademarks-wp-...

Put some money on those 0% odds.

Let’s see how it goes. I still can’t imagine that Automattic would win a suite, but maybe WP engine complies with the Cease and desist.
