Defending Open Source: Protecting the Future of WordPress

WordPress is a free toolkit anyone can use to build and customize a website. It powers over 40% of the web, giving freedom, ease, and flexib

Automattic

At its heart, WordPress is a platform built on the principles of freedom, collaboration, and openness. It has thrived for over two decades because of the commitment of the community and its leaders to these ideals to ensure WordPress will continue to serve the many, not the few.

Let us be clear: the WordPress ecosystem remains strong. Our actions target WP Engine, which is influenced by its private equity backer Silver Lake. If you are using WordPress ethically and contributing to the ecosystem, or even enjoying the democratization of publishing, we wish for you to prosper.
