The original creator of Wordpress and the owner of a Wordpress hosting site. He’s been having a meltdown for months because Wordpress is being used by WP Engine, a for-profit competitor hosting company, in compliance with the license. Since then, he has:
Changed the trademark license and retroactively sued WP Engine,
Disparaged WP Engine every time he had the chance,
Added a potentially legally binding checkbox to wordpress.com where the user must declare their disassociation with WP Engine (which also locked out actual employees),
Forcibly taken control of several community-made plugins,
Acted like an absolute fucking buffoon the innocent little lamb who’s been set upon by the wolves.
I can’t access the link. who is he?

With what I have now seen about him, I would be quite inclined to agree.
An asshole
