WPEngine and Automattic have stipulated to a bare bones preliminary injunction allowing WPE access to public pages and they can submit security vulnerabilities, but Automattic still wants WPEngine blocked from password-protected functionality (Automattic would not agree to more) #WPE #WPEngine #Automattic

WPEngine asks for more: to prohibit Automattic from blocking WPEngine's access to password-protected functionality, to prohibit blocking WPEngine's access to its plugins (including ceasing the auto-migration to Automattic versions), from disclosing WPE customers, and requiring removal of the checkbox. #WPE #WPEngine #Automattic

For those who are interested in the legal stuff, #WPEngine likely to succeed on claim for intentional interference with contract. Irreparable harm, balance of hardships and public interest also all in favor of WPEngine. "Here, the public consequences of withholding injunctive relief are significant." #MattMullenweg #Automattic #Wordpress @LWN

WordPress platforms beware (if you hadn't figured it out already): "Defendants characterize WPEngine’s harm as self-imposed because it built its business around a website 'that it had no contractual right to use'."
