That WordPress article is a one-sided mess and they should really pull back from what they did. That has nothing to do with open source. They fucked over many of their users just to spite a single firm (which were in their right).

Now I don’t want to defend a for profit company that doesn’t contribute much to open source, but the public meltdown that the CEO of Automattic had was more than embarrassing.
