Hope I'm not too late to the party. This is the first time I've read a link about the Wordpress spat; mostly because ... well ... HN is a firehose.

So, "What the heck is going on with WordPress?" IE, does anyone have any links that explain what happened in a neutral, unbiased (within reason) manner?

IE, I certainly respect the opinion in the linked article, but I'm so new to the story that I'm not comfortable agreeing or disagreeing with the points in the article.

This was the opening salvo in the battle. I guess it escalated:

They're far from unbiased, but you can gain a lot of context by reading tweets from Matt (@photomatt) and WP Engine.
