WordPress商标转让给WordPress Foundation

Last week, Matt Mullenweg founder of Automattic and WordPress announced on his blog that the WordPress trademark has been transferred to the WordPress Foundation. What does this mean? Well it means that WordPress’s identity – its name – is now fully independent from any company.

上周， Automattic和WordPress的创始人Matt Mullenweg在他的博客上宣布WordPress商标已移交给WordPress Foundation 。 这是什么意思？ 好的，这意味着WordPress的身份-其名称-现在完全独立于任何公司。

The WordPress Foundation is a not for profit organisation “promoting and ensuring access to WordPress and related open source projects in perpetuity”. In response to the announcement, the WordPress Foundation said

WordPress基金会是一个非营利性组织，“ 永久地促进和确保对WordPress和相关开放源代码项目的访问”。 针对这一公告，WordPress基金会表示

It is highly unusual (to say the least) for a company to give away a trademark worth millions, and this move by Automattic is extremely generous and community-minded.

对于一家公司来说，放弃价值数百万美元的商标是非常不寻常的(至少可以说)，而Automattic的这一举动非常慷慨且具有社区意识。

The WordPress trademark was first registered by Automattic in 2006 when it was a tiny company. The company has grown massively and WordPress is undoubtedly one of (if not) the most used blogging platforms online. Mullenweg says that his goal has been to combine a non-profit and a for-profit service under one umbrella. The word WordPress is now protected as “a beacon of open source freedom”.

WordPress商标最初是由Automattic于2006年成立的，当时它是一家小公司。 该公司已经发展壮大，而WordPress无疑是(如果不是)最常用的在线博客平台之一。 Mullenweg说，他的目标一直是在一个保护伞下将非营利和营利服务相结合。 WordPress一词现在被保护为“开源自由的灯塔”。
