I don't have a dog in this fight, but if you built a multi-million business around that code, it is just sane for you to patch the code so that your core business doesn't 100% depend on someone else's free service (plugin marketplace hosting for example)

This entire situation screams drama but I can see where Matt is coming from, even though he could have handled things with more grace.

I also don't have a dog in the fight but reading for a few minutes I have the impression there have been previous attempts to engage with WPE to contribute. I might be wrong.

I think WPE committed to contributing 40h per week of work on WordPress. I'm not clear if they didn't fulfill their commitment or Matt thinks that is not enough.
