WordPress Wins Major Legal Battle: Antitrust Claims Dismissed

Automattic, the company behind WordPress, has won a significant legal victory. A court dismissed several serious claims brought by WP Engine and Silver Lake, including antitrust, monopolization, and extortion. This significantly narrows the scope of the case and is a win for open-source maintainers and contributors. Automattic stated its continued commitment to building a free, open, and thriving WordPress ecosystem.
