  • It would be good to sell the codebase for Chrome, if it actually happens.

    Here’s a thought expirement, what would be more devastating, selling Chrome and losing all of that tracking and ad revenue, or being to change to GPLv3 license and make chromium or Chrome libre/free software? I say GPLv3 because version 2 does allow linking to binary blobs, version 3 does not. I would predict that Chromium GPLv3 would instantly rule the entire internet and bethe de facto browser on any operating syatem.

    Why do you people talk about defending and supporting democracy, but never talk about that the population has a right to vote for anti-government people? Democracy is about following the will of the people, and if the majority of the people vote to cut government, eliminate government, and start taking powers away from government rule, democracy says to follow the vote of the people.

    Over time I’ve grown very concerned about non-FOSs simply due to constant datamining. Including for products people buy, they still want customers to install a proprietary app and register the product with serial, name, etc, for extra functionality. So on a phone, I have hard restrictions on what I refuse to install so that no apps have access to anything on phone or how I use it.
