An interesting followup question in light of recent events would have been:
“Now what if they named this competing product WordPress Pro?” (or WordPress by BigCompany, or WordPress Enhanced, etc.)
I’d love to know what the answer to that question would have been. Somehow, I don’t think the answer would have been nearly as unequivocal.
