Such a strange feud. Aren’t there a bunch of WordPress hosts that are given usage of the software name? It sounds like there’s just something specifically about WPengine’s deployments that are changing the formula, creating a sticking point.

It is about WPEngine not contributing enough back to Wordpress, in terms of development effort or money. Apparently the trademark is the only legal grounds they have to go after WPEngine to try and get them to contribute back more.
