I can only wonder how many educational institutions are impacted by this tiff between WordPress and one of the largest WordPress hosting services, WP Engine. As this story reports, "Pending their legal claims and litigation against WordPress.org, WP Engine no longer has free access to WordPress.org's resources." WordPress is looking to get at least something back from WP Engine - at the very least, royalties for their use of the 'WordPress' trademark, and to this end, posted an update to WordPress users making this case. WP blocked WordPress from sending the message, and in turn, WordPress blocked core functoonality WP Engine had been accessing for free.
