WordPress联合创始人马特-穆伦维格(Matt Mullenweg)与负责WordPress.com及其商业服务的Automattic公司发生了公开纠纷。在穆伦维格批评WP Engine侵犯WordPress商标并指责该公司没有回馈开源项目后,WP Engine向私募股权公司Silver Lake提起诉讼,指控穆伦维格和Automattic进行敲诈勒索。穆伦维格在Automattic内部引发了轩然大波,他决定向不同意其观点的员工支付3万美元的离职费,以缓解这一紧张局势。

构建矛盾:Automattic与WP Engine的纠纷

在穆伦维格称第三方托管服务是WordPress社区的“毒瘤”并禁止其访问WordPress.org之后,Automattic与WP Engine之间的矛盾公开化。穆伦维格认为WP Engine的托管服务对WordPress生态系统造成了负面影响,侵犯了WordPress商标,并批评该公司没有回馈开源项目。然而,WP Engine反驳称穆伦维格和Automattic的行动是“敲诈勒索”,并提起诉讼。

员工的选择:3万美元的离职费

在穆伦维格提出这一离职方案后,有159名员工接受了这一提议,占公司总人数的8.4%。其中,辞职对公司WordPress生态系统部门的影响最大,79.2%的员工选择了离开。穆伦维格在周四晚的更新中写道:“银湖和WP Engine对我和Automattic的攻击虽然是虚假的,但却很有效。很明显,Automattic的大部分同事都不同意我和我们的行动。”

决议与未来展望

穆伦维格在10月3日前邀请员工决定是否离开公司,离开的员工将无法重新被雇佣。穆伦维格表示:“这一周的心情犹如坐过山车。然而现在,我感觉轻松多了。我感激并感谢所有接受聘用的人,更兴奋的是能与那些拒绝了1.26亿美元而留下来的人一起工作。”他强调,这一决定是为了减轻公司的内部矛盾,同时也表达了对那些坚持留下来的员工的支持和赞赏。

结论与参考文献

穆伦维格的决定不仅反映了Automattic内部的文化冲突,也揭示了开源社区在商业利益面前可能面临的复杂挑战。未来,Automattic和WP Engine之间的关系将如何发展,以及这一事件对WordPress生态系统的影响,将是值得持续关注的话题。
