What if Linux foundation buys Chrome?

[–] Joker@sh.itjust.works 7 points 8 months ago

They already have Servo.

Do they have the money? What is the value of Chrome anyways, if you can't do monopoly things with it? About as much as Firefox?

How do you force someone to sell something thats open source?

Can the government please force me to sell my open source software too? If they could be my sales department, I'd love that. Pretty please.

I don't see how a "Chrome" company would make any money. Now if the Chrome Company also owned ChromeOS and Chromebooks that might be interesting. But it could also be bad, because such a company would probably want to take a cut of every Chromebook in order to actually make money.
