Wordpress (the software) is not owned by Automattic. As it happens, yes, I wasn't planning to use the stats plugin...

[] ..., develop our products, ... would seem on (amateur) legal reading not to preclude the sale of data. I know this is the basis of third-party webstats all over, and is probably part of the game for Automattic Inc and wordpress.com, but - to repeat - is it something wordpress.org should be associated with?
