    Much as I love Automattic and WordPress, that seems like a really shitty way to do business.

    I seen this with Joomla a few years back, was one of the motivating factors in switching to WordPress for development.

    Its like Deja Vu, similar in many respects.

    That’s unfortunate, but I sympathize with Automattic’s stance. Envato/Themeforest and their restrictive licensing needs to change.
