"WP Engine needs a trademark license, they don't have one. I won't bore you with the story of how WP Engine broke thousands of customer sites yesterday in their haphazard attempt to block our attempts to inform the wider WordPress community regarding their disabling and locking down a WordPress core feature in order to extract profit. What I will tell you is that, pending their legal claims and litigation against WordPress.org, WP Engine no longer has free access to WordPress.org's resources."
"Cease and desist letters are going back and forth between the leading CMS and the hosting platform. Mullenweg had been complaining loudly about trademark violations, alleging that WP Engine was illegitimately monetizing them while misleading consumers to believe that there is a formal affiliation between WP Engine and WordPress."
"The letters WP are used on hundreds of plugins and themes, and have for decades without issue. Even the WordPress Foundation's own Trademark Policy page acknowledges they have no case: 'The abbreviation 'WP' is not covered by the WordPress trademarks.'"
