    1. Most companies doing open source lead people to conflate their free and open source software with their own proprietary version.

    No, other companies make it very clear considering that there is no non-profit organization when it’s all controlled under one for-profit entity. You have not provided a single example of anything similar of a non-profit organization being used to benefit a for-profit organization because it is illegal.

    1. Both are quite literally led by the same person, and have been since their founding

    Yes. That is the fucking problem. A non-profit is used to unfairly benefit a specific for-profit business. That is illegal and unethical.

    WordPress.org is run by a non-profit. WordPress.com is run a separate for-profit entity. That is what I have been saying. WordPress.org gives preferential treatment because they allow a separate entity to use their trademarks while explicitly not letting others do the same.
