In reply to Me.

You can do what ever you want. Matt or Automattic has never infringes someones' TM. Thesis.com is a generic name, anyone could buy it (if you have enough cash).

Just because some has a trademark for the name 'Thesis' for a WordPress theme doesn't mean they automatically own the domain. As for the reason why they bought it, of course, not only to bully the guy who has bullied and infringed GPL license in the face of thousands of WordPress developers but also to take a necessary step in order to stop this GPL abuse which I believe is a good for community in a larger picture (not only from the outside looks).

For the past years, Matt has been actively devoted in protecting the GPL license which is one of the reason why WordPress is so successful, you have also benefit from the license which gave you the freedom to do whatever you want with it as long you the product you develop is also licensed as GPL.

This move is so far the most aggressive but I cannot blame Matt for doing this. Go Matt show them the wrath. This guy didn't infringe the GPL license once but twice. Time for some lesson.
