Did Matt really send you here without even explaining what the conversation was about? And then you didn't even bother to read it for yourself?

The article you wrote claims "The Foundation also licensed the name WordPress to the non-profit WordPress.org, which runs a website that facilitates access to WordPress-related software."

Matt in his comment claims "All the information in the links you shared is totally wrong. Our lawyers have never said that WordPress.org is a non-profit or owned by the Foundation."

So which of you have it wrong?

I believe there was a typo in the post. If you read this thread you'll see a note below from Matt yesterday that the post was corrected.

"Asbolutely" is a typo.

Don't white wash a completely inaccurate and misleading statement as a typing error - that treats people like fools.

ESPECIALLY since this is one of DOZENS of recently citable instances where Matt refers to WP.org, Automattic, and the Foundation almost interchangably.

"Rushing to fix years of (intentionally/conveniently) muddy waters on org structures" is not "a typo in the past" - this is insulting to your audience.
