> Where is the contract that WP Engine signed, that says they must display posts from their competitors calling them a cancer in their customer's websites?

There isn't one. Just like there isn't one that says they can download plugins et al from their competitors' website.

This is open source. They're free to fork WordPress, set up a competing app store, etc.

WordPress.org is not a competitor to WP Engine.

Despite Matt claiming that WP Engine is a "cancer", WP Engine have supported WordPress for a long time, both through financial contributions and code contributions - even sponsoring the same WordCampUS conference where Matt launched his attack.

Competitor? How is wordpress.org a competitor?
