It’s great to see that the WordPress team has set up the WordPress Foundation with the express aim:

The point of the foundation is to ensure free access, in perpetuity, to the projects we support. People and businesses may come and go, so it is important to ensure that the source code for these projects will survive beyond the current contributor base, that we may create a stable platform for web publishing for generations to come.

It’s a sure sign that the platform is maturing and it’s nice to see that care is being taken to protect the brand and the software. It doesn’t matter if you’re building healthcare job search engine, or a joke shop; the platform you run on is paramount to the longevity of your business.
