As someone who wrote OS software in the past and had little no people contributing back except the core team, i total disagree.
If you write OS and put it out there for the world to use, you should be doing it because you want to _give_ to the world. you should not expect _anything_ in return. the is the essences of giving, to not expect something back.
if Matt wants WPEngine to require a contribution to WordPRess, then he should relicense it under a license that requires this or close the code and charge subscriptions.
what he is doing is giving a bad name the OS community in general. this is not how you act.
