WP Engine's cease-and-desist letter highlights accusations against Automattic's CEO for making harmful statements and issuing threats to extract payments, undermining the WordPress community.
The letter states that Mullenweg threatened to adopt a 'scorched earth nuclear approach' if WP Engine did not comply with his financial demands, reflecting a tense relationship.
WP Engine asserts that Mullenweg's claims about them are false, stating their trademark use is protected under fair use laws, allowing them to operate within WordPress guidelines.
Screenshots shared by WP Engine reveal communications from Mullenweg that indicate pressure tactics aimed at coercing WP Engine into a financial agreement linked to WordPress trademarks.
