Just a question on principles...as someone elsewhere here has stated that this article is out of date and that you can, in fact, disable Widevine in Chrome 57.

Just a question on principles...as someone elsewhere here has stated that this article is out of date and that you can, in fact, disable Widevine in Chrome 57. But either way, let's say you couldn't disable it...and that it was also the case in Chromium. Couldn't someone fork Chromium and put out a new browser with that disabled? Chromium is all open source, yes? So what's stopping someone from doing that?
