As I understand it, WordPress Foundation's board can revoke the license if Automattic is no longer a good custodian of the brand.

It makes sure even if Automattic is no longer in good hands, the Foundation can protect the WordPress brand from Automattic.

(I work at Automattic but did not specifically checked the details of the trademark agreement)

The lawsuit asserts pretty vehemently that it's "irrevocable."

It quite literally states in the document that the trademark is irrevocable

[rideontime]

Which document are you referring to?

Have a look at the trademark assignment document filed with the United States Patent and Trademark Office:

Thanks! I read plenty of patents and lawsuits but haven't had to look up a trademark before.

as I understand it the foundation board is matt and two people matt chose.
