I would argue that the taking is the point of open source. By providing software free to use and copy and modify to the world, you’re making it a better place. You won’t be financially rewarded for that. That isn’t the point. Mongo, Redis, Elastic, HashiCorp, Automattic, and many others have forgotten that.

The continuation of this work demands defending it (and therefore the good it spread) from parasitic actors.

Mongo, Redis, Elastic, HashiCorp did not forgot that. They knew it, and thats why they changed their license.

If Automattic wants to force companies to pay for Wordpress, it should use a license that encourages/requires that.
