WordPress bans WP Engine from sponsoring user groups
Briefly

"As per our sponsorship rules, WP Engine is no longer eligible to sponsor WordPress events, and individuals employed by WP Engine cannot participate as organizers or speakers."
"This decision aligns with point 4 of our sponsorship rules, which states that 'All sponsors are expected to support the WordPress project and its principles, including: Respect the WordPress trademark.'"
"Matt Mullenweg, co-creator of WordPress, accused WP Engine of profiting from the software without making a commensurate contribution to its development and maintenance."
"Sydney WordCamp argued that banning WP Engine's participation in events denies the business the chance to make such a contribution."
