I enjoyed the part where he explains that he has to operate WordPress.org personally because the IRS wouldn’t allow a non-profit to operate a website with commercial value. He then talks about the structure of the WordPress Foundation, explaining that it has a for-profit subsidiary to run the WordCamps which generates around $5 million per year in revenue from commercial partners. Matt, you just shared a workaround that would work for WordPress.org that you’re already using for operating the WordCamps! He speaks with a calm and polite tone but has a complete lack of sincerity. Anyone with an ounce of integrity would at least pause to consider their contradictions.
