>As best as I can tell this is all over a trademark dispute over the "WP" in WPEngine

I'm only slightly following the dispute between Automattic and WPEngine but it might have more to do with WPEngine rewriting the payment identifier on Automattic's open source Woo Commerce ecommerce plugin.

WPEngine's payment identifier rewrite results in WPEngine getting a cut of ecommerce payments processed through their hosted sites and not Automattic.

I don't know the details though and probably didn't even explain it right. Matt talked about it recently in a Youtube interview.

If you read through the lawsuit, that's not even the case.

I understand what's in the lawsuit, I am just speculating on what might have been the last straw that led to the lawsuit.
