    That is incorrect. Automattic donates some work to the open-source project, but they are in no way the same thing.

      Man this is like saying proton isn’t made by Valve… Matt Mullenweg was one of the cocreators of Wordpress and went on to start Automattic which is a pun on his name. He’s literally got (or at least had) the title of lead developer in the Worldpress Foundation and he’s CEO of Automattic.

      Donates some work? They open source the platform. You can pay for hosting at .com… honestly asking, what are you even mad about?
