I don't know... WordPress is a pretty huge open source project and community. He also opened Pocket Casts.

If you followed his months of mad ravings, he made it clear that Wordpress is not a true open source project. He has direct control over the project via Automattic appointments in the community, everything is designed to route through his circuitous network of shell corporations and trademarks (wordpress.org is fully under his control and he personally owns the Wordpress trademark - which the "project" licenses from him).

The only reason Wordpress is open source in the first place is because it's a just a fork of b2/cafelog and the original GNU license means derivative works have to be open source as well. (Lost in his moral crusade against WP Engine is the fact that he never really contributed to b2 besides just taking their code).

Oh, I had no idea. When you said opened I thought you meant founded, my bad!

Was it open source before he bought it? If not, then he indeed opened it.
