We are pleased to announce that Automattic has made a remarkable and generous donation by transferring ownership of the WordPress trademark to the WordPress Foundation. We're honored to accept this donation, and to preserve and protect the trademark in the years ahead as a keystone part of the Foundation's mission to ensure that WordPress is around and thrives for generations to come. 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.
