> It's an offer to give WP Engine something that they're not required to be given, in exchange for WP Engine not doing something while that contract is in effect

You've interchangeably described WPEngine's consideration under the contract to be "something", "stuff", and "behavior" – this vagueness seems to be dodging the issue: what specifically, as you understand it, would WPEngine have to give up under the terms of the contract Matt presented, in exchange for usage of the trademarks?




> Crucially, they're not giving up their right to fork, they're just agreeing not to use it so long as the trademark license contract is active.


That's just a different way of saying they give up their right to fork (temporarily, for the duration of the contract).


> I don't think we're going to agree on this one.
