Huh, that's very interesting - https://projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/organizations/205...

I though part of Matt's point was that Automattic "gave back" to the foundation?

The WordPress Foundation is irrelevant to WordPress itself, it just holds events. The WordPress project is owned by Matt and that’s what Automattic donates to (in the form of Automattic employees working roughly 4k hours per week on the WordPress project). There’s also the money spent on running WordPress.org by Automattic but that’s entirely opaque (nobody knows how much it is, although it’s claimed to be millions).
