    Wow. For real, I always just assumed that .com was the commercial arm of .org. Holy shit.

    Edit: So, for anyone curious, .com is owned by Automattic, who also own Tumblr, Beeper, PocketCasts and Buddy Press. The WordPress project and .org are owned by the WordPress Foundation. Automattic makes some contributions to the WordPress project but they and the WP Foundation are seperate.

          Matt Mullenweg effectively is the ‘owner’ of both, yes. Though the term ‘owner’ isn’t necessarily precise, it effectively conveys the idea.

            Ah sorry, it sounded like you were reacting to the comment you replied to, which it was more like you were adding information.
