If you modify a trademarked product and sell/distribute it, you can’t use the trademarked name to describe it unless you get permission to do so.
Unless you refer to something other than violation of a trademark, I’m curious to know how it’s more complicated than that?
explain to me your understanding of nominative use, for a start
(or, preferably, don’t)

Having read a bit about this dispute and the parties involved I think the best settlement prospect for this lawsuit is to set everybody involved on fire.
So if I follow, basically everyone involved has been banking on users getting confused about what the “legit” version of WordPress is, with known transphobic asshole photomatt being particularly egregious with WordPress.com vs wordpress.org, and then known transphobic asshole photomatt remembered that he also had some more direct influence in WordPress.org that he could use to smite his enemies. Is that about right or am I missing some steps?
