My assumption would be that there'd be a fight over the name?
I'm pretty sure it would be forked, too, but do you think you'd continue to use it for websites or would you look at a different solution?
Majority of users would continue to use most popular fork. Similar situation happen with Joomla predeccesor Mambo in 2005 en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joomla
The name is owned by the WordPress Foundation which honestly addresses the issues of the .com coming and going away. You might want to read up on that.
Thank you so much! I hadn't heard of the WordPress Foundation before, despite having worked with WP for years.

Very good point! WordPress also has the advantage of being used in over 50% of websites today... that's a lot of pressure to keep it going.

Was busy with frontend and graphql CMSs, thank you
Haha there are so many things out there, I'm not surprised I had never heard of ClassicPress!
