Notice that the question I'm asking features very prominently in that thread. It is asked at least 3 different times with a cumulative upvote count of ~240.

My identity is secret b/c of MM's demonstrated pattern of retribution seeking. I'm also concerned about threats from his associates.

Toni. That's not the question. The question you've repeatedly avoided is simple:

How do you reconcile the previously mentioned public announcements with the reality of Automattic's "exclusive", "perpetual" and "irrevocable" license?

My identity has nothing to do with that question, Toni.

Thanks for responding. However, you avoided the central question: What did the transfer accomplish? What was the benefit to the community?

Because, we were told that the transfer made the WP name "fully independent from any company". That's clearly untrue.

So what was the point, Toni? Deception?
