    This seems more a safeguard for if that happens, since Chromium project would be in jeopardy

      they could easily have done this after the fact and avoided the current reality which Will be Google using Linux foundation funding to protect its monopoly of the ecosystem

        So instead of proactively working to make sure it’s not just Google contributing to Chromium (contributions that could go away if sold off), you think it would be better to just let the worst happen and then start doing something about it?

        Do you realize how much modern web relies on Chromium and how much of that is done by Google currently? It’s a terrible idea to have it the way it currently is and probably even worse if Chrome is sold.

        Also the idea of widening the contributor base helping the monopoly is sorta backwards.
