 * This is not behavior befitting of the spirit of Open Source.

 * It actually is. The original plugin has been forked, which is totally cool, since
   we’re talking about open-source software here.
 * The rremoval of ACF from the repo is also totally cool, nothing illegitimate 
   or illegal here – and obviously a consequence of the legal war between WP and
   WPEngine.
 * There’s no problem with your opinion either, of course. But giving a one-star
   review to the fork of one of the awesomest WP plugins ever made, simply because
   you don’t like the change of ownership – now this is definitely unethical behavior.

 * [@lunule](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lunule/), I’d love to leave an 
   actual review of ACF, as I’ve been using it for 12 years, but I can’t because
   the mechanism to do so has been stolen and corrupted in the most shameless way
   possible.
