Here's the real thing Matt's scared of:
He owns the WordPress Foundation and its board is him and his two sycophants.
He personally, private owns WordPress.org and considers it all his own private property he's allowing people to use on a lark.
He owns WordPress.com and Automattic, of course.
He's realizing there's a very real chance that not only are his toys going to be taken away, but that he's also going to get busted for intermingling his organizations and treating them ALL like a melting-pot poured right into his own personal purse. We've seen him conduct similar shady shit in other lawsuits he's been involved with.
He's terrified because WordPress's org structures and his involvement in them hasn't really been under a legal microscope like this before. He's going to get wrecked a lot harder than just WordPress vs WPEngine if this suit presses deeper, which it will. The reaper's coming and this is his existential crisis moment.
