not the WordPress foundation (the .org). Blurring the lines

Hmm. Matt (and at least one employee of Automattic) says "wp.org has nothing to do with the foundation, it's run benevolently by Matt"...

wp.org does live on the Foundation's IP space, though...

Also, why does he feel that WP Engine should pay licensing fees to Automattic?

Matt seems like he's far too comfortable with just picking and choosing whether he's acting on behalf of the Foundation, the .org site, Automattic (and the .com) completely interchangably depending on what his needs or messaging is to be (not to mention the fuzzy accounting that could easily be seen to be happening).
