Mark Evans recently asked: So How is Wordpress Going to Make Money, Matt? My immediate reaction was to formulate what seemed like a better question.

How is Automattic going to make money, Toni? While WordPress is an open-source software project, Automattic is a privately-held for-profit firm. Toni Schneider is the CEO.

Toni and Matt each remarked at the time that the money is not just for the WordPress blogging software, but for other projects.

This is already a post-sized chunk of text, and all I’ve done is set the scene. I plan to follow it with another couple of posts this week, probably one on WordPress and another on Automattic’s other projects.
