Hi,
I have been a matomo fanboy for a long time. And first thank you for such a usefull tool !
BUT :
As a WordPress user I have been developping a WordPress Plugin long ago initially called “PIWIK TRACKER” and renamed “MATOMO TRACKER” (while rebrand happened) as no one was providing such support.
I’m believing in a web where the wtfpl License is what the web should be …
Today I just received a WordPress notice : “YOUR PLUGIN HAS BEEN CLOSED FOR TRADEMARK ABUSE” …
So by now I’m just wondering what’ll be your next move ?
Just stealing my code and publish it as an “official” matomo WP plugin since the source code is available on github since the beginning of its developpment (https://github.com/niroma/matomo-tracker).
My intention wasn’t to steal anything and I’m not doing any money by supporting users or developping this plugin …
The plugin dev started when matomo was still Piwik …
I’ve been voting for your “rebrand” and “new logo” …
So just wondering why such a move from your part ? But just WTF … What will be your next move ?
Have a nice day, sorry I you feel I’m a bit angry but I just don’t understand …
EDIT :
-
LOL I JUST SAW YOUR NEW HEADING : “Matomo Analytics for WordPress has now launched! Download now!” nice move guys "

FFS Even google doesn’t mind people using “Google analytics” in their plugin name but you’re chosing another way … While piwik was free for a decade maybe your new intentions are making cash from “MATOMO” … I’m not judging … Do what you think is good for you…

Also, personnally, and I think I’m not the only one, I do not want a fucked up plugin overloading my WP dashboard while I’m self hosting a matomo install tracking hundreds of website.
