The WordPress community took a big step forward today when Matt announced that Automattic has donated the WordPress trademark to the non-profit WordPress Foundation. Moving forward, the Foundation will be responsible for safeguarding the trademarked name and logo from misuse toward the end of protecting WordPress and preventing confusion among people trying to figure out if a resource is “official” or not.
Good news for WordPress and Matt Mullenweg. Matt is now one of the top 30 people on the Internet. Pretty impressive for someone that built an open source platform.
