"12 years ago when I announced @Ghost I got the most criticism for this line of my original blog post: "No corporate arm of the law. Ghost would be free as in Mozilla not as in Automattic . Every decision made would be about improving the software not the bottom line." Maybe now you can see why I wrote it. Ghost was very deliberately set up as a single-entity non-profit foundation: - No investors. - No commercial entity wheeling and dealing in the background with shady tactics. - No conflicts of interest around ownership of trademarks & domains. I don't personally own anything to do with"
