My reading of it was basically either stop suing us or we're going to stop working on WordPress --
Which -- Matt's got his money - the rest of the people in that organization - probably not so much. They'll be the ones who feel it if the wheels fall completely off.
It seems like Matt basically wants to take his toys and go home, but is pissed that he can't because WP is way bigger than him. The logo, the name, and the money are all he has and that's useless on it's own.
