> >That is not true. Automattic asked for a verbal agreement that WP Engine would give some percentage of their revenue back into WordPress, either in the form of a trademark agreement or employee hours spent on core WordPress.

In the term sheet, it's phrased as:

> Commit 8% of its revenue in the form of salaries of WP Engine employees working on WordPress core features and functionality to be directed by WordPress.org.

So, pay for employees to be directed by WordPress.org (not Automattic or WordPress Foundation, apparently just Matt).
