No one is going to pay for it anyway, because its..... ALREADY OPEN SOURCE! Why spend 20B when you already have the source!

If the distribution point changes, its no longer popular.

And then what, would google be sued again if they start linking to Chromium's website (after spicing it up - to be more consumer friendly)

It makes literally no sense that a company be punished for internal growth. The FTC/DOJ needs to go after acquisitions that cause unfair advantages, not software that the company created themselves.

I mean can they be a little more creative and go after Google for interviewing THOUSANDS of companies pretending they are interested in an acquisition, and instead just find out all their secrets and then cause them to fold?


The spooks will simply create another company.
