The entire WordPress drama would be a non issue if Matt was consistent with his own words and changed the license.

A project where companies need to pay a license to use if they are over certain size can't be GPL. It still can be open source, he can change to a license scheme similar to Red hat maybe. Then it would be ok, and expected, for for-profit companies to be required to pay (either in money or work).
But GPL? No fucking way. Everything Matt has being doing and saying go against the entire spirit, and even the letter, of the license.
Just change the license to match your ideas, Matt. And then the community could choose what to do -

The new #wordpress license reads:
“Contribute (with time and/or money) according to Matt’s whim of the week or else he’ll find a way to sue you.”
I hope it’s clear enough.
