Having read a bit about this dispute and the parties involved I think the best settlement prospect for this lawsuit is to set everybody involved on fire.
So if I follow, basically everyone involved has been banking on users getting confused about what the "legit" version of WordPress is, with known transphobic asshole photomatt being particularly egregious with WordPress.com vs wordpress.org, and then known transphobic asshole photomatt remembered that he also had some more direct influence in WordPress.org that he could use to smite his enemies. Is that about right or am I missing some steps?
This guy has a serious case of Sam Bankman-Fried-levels of self-implicating logo-diarrhea. He seems massively invested in being seen as virtuous and winning in the court of public opinion. As someone with ASD, I can understand the impulse when you feel you're being wronged and I've certainly sometimes put my foot in my mouth out of frustrated interactions, but my god, I don't own a million dollar company and teams of PR people and lawyers to cover for me.
I need a dummy's guide to this entire thing, yesterday I didn't know about Mullenweg's existence and today I learn wordpress is suing wordpress for not being legit wordpress or something
