The dispute (on the surface) is about trademark not copyright and Automattic has an exclusive license to the trademark.

I went to WP Engines website and on it they say "Host your WordPress site with the WordPress experts".

It feels confusing to me. The word "the" makes me explicitly think this is Wordpress themselves. They are "the" experts. WP Engine makes it pretty clear they are Wordpress. It is front and center. It has a different meaning than "Host your WordPress site with WordPress experts".

Arg, thanks for clarifying that. I misused that term.
