The feud between WordPress co-creator Matt Mullenweg and website hosting platform WP Engine has taken a bizarre turn. The WordPress login now includes a checkbox requiring users to declare that they are not connected with WP Engine in any way, financially or otherwise.

The conflict between the two organizations began over trademark licensing fees, with Mullenweg demanding millions of dollars from WP Engine.
