David: 我认为这场围绕 WordPress 的争议,核心在于其开源性质和商业模式之间的冲突。WordPress.org 是一个开源基金会,而 WordPress.com 则是一个由 Automattic 公司(也拥有 Tumblr 和 Pocket Casts 等)运营的营利性公司。Automattic 的 CEO Matt Mullenweg 同时也是 WordPress 基金会的负责人,这种双重身份导致了利益冲突。他指责 WP Engine 公司(一家使用 WordPress 代码的托管服务提供商)对开源社区贡献不足,并采取了强硬措施,包括向 WP Engine 发送律师函,要求其停止使用 WP 的缩写,甚至一度封禁 WP Engine 访问 WordPress.org 的服务器。这引发了关于开源软件贡献义务的道德和法律讨论。 我认为 Matt Mullenweg 的行为,虽然在法律上可能站得住脚,但在道德上却存在争议。他既是开源项目的领导者,又是商业公司的 CEO,这使得他很难在两者之间保持客观公正。WP Engine 作为一家商业公司,有权使用开源代码,但同时也有义务回馈社区。这场争议也反映了开源社区内部的复杂性和挑战。 Marques: 这场争论凸显了开源软件世界中,非营利组织与商业公司之间微妙关系的复杂性。一方面,开源软件的开放性使得商业公司能够在其基础上构建盈利产品;另一方面,开源社区也依赖于商业公司的贡献来维持其发展。Matt Mullenweg 的行为,虽然激进,但也反映了开源社区对商业公司“免费搭车”行为的不满。这场争论最终将如何解决,将对未来开源软件的商业模式产生深远的影响。 我认为,这场争论的核心在于如何平衡开源软件的开放性和商业公司的利益。开源软件的成功离不开商业公司的参与,但商业公司也需要承担相应的责任,回馈开源社区。如何建立一个更公平、更可持续的开源软件商业模式,是摆在整个开源社区面前的一个重要课题。 Andrew: 这场围绕 WordPress 的争议,本质上是关于开源软件的商业化和社区贡献的辩论。Matt Mullenweg 作为 WordPress 的创始人,既是开源基金会的负责人,也是营利性公司的 CEO,他的行为引发了关于利益冲突和开源道德的讨论。WP Engine 作为一家商业公司,利用 WordPress 的开源代码构建自己的业务,但其对开源社区的贡献却受到质疑。 这场争议也反映了开源社区的复杂性,以及在开源软件的商业化过程中,如何平衡商业利益和社区贡献之间的关系。我认为,这场争议的最终结果,将对未来开源软件的商业模式和社区发展产生深远的影响。

Deep Dive

Chapters
The hosts delve into the controversy surrounding WordPress, focusing on the conflict between WordPress.com, its open-source counterpart WordPress.org, and WP Engine. They discuss the open-source community's expectations and the legal versus moral obligations of code contribution.
  • WordPress is divided into WordPress.org (open-source) and WordPress.com (for-profit, owned by Automattic).
  • Matt Mullenweg, co-founder of WordPress, criticized WP Engine for not contributing enough to the open-source community.
  • WP Engine was banned from accessing the WordPress.org code but later reinstated with conditions.
  • Automattic demanded WP Engine either contribute more code or pay a fee, leading to significant industry debate.
  • The conflict highlights potential conflicts of interest when a for-profit company is closely linked to an open-source foundation.
