As long as competitors of Automattic does not infringe on the trademarks owned (in the case of WooCommerce) or licensed (WordPress) by Automattic, I don't see any reason for us taking any action.

I would personally ask everyone to at least try to contribute back to the open source projects they rely on though.

Honestly I tried at one point, but the community was rather hostile and unwelcoming.

I help out with Godot sometimes and it’s far more welcoming and low friction.
