Born
Websites for everyone, openly licensed. Mullenweg co-created WordPress with Mike Little in 2003 by forking an abandoned blogging tool, b2, and kept it free and open source, with one-click installs and themes that let non-programmers run full websites. It came to power a large share of the web. He founded Automattic to run WordPress.com, and his 2024 legal fight with hosting firm WP Engine raised questions about one person's influence over an open project.
