Last month, we marked a notable digital landmark: the 20th anniversary of WordPress.org. This platform, initiated by co-founders Matt Mullenweg and Mike Little on May 27, 2003, commenced its journey as a basic open-source blogging platform. Over the ensuing twenty years, it has evolved into a driving force in the digital world.
With WordPress powering more than a third of the most frequented websites on the internet, including industry leaders like The New York Times, Salesforce, and Disney. WordPress stands as a testament to the might of open-source technology, democratizing the web and enabling individuals worldwide to share their ideas, products, and services with the global community.
The cornerstone of WordPress.org’s philosophy is freedom, rooted in the conviction that everyone should have unhindered access to the tools necessary for online expression. From its inception, with the first version being freely available under the General Public License (GPL), to the present day Version 6.2, WordPress.org continues to be a free and accessible resource for all.
