I wonder whether this scenario is now going to play out in the opposite way, with Google ditching Blink for Servo once Mozilla finishes morphing Gecko into Servo with the Firefox Quantum project.
Who would win then? Google's money and marketing power, or Mozilla's independence, trustworthiness and being the renderer's creator?

- guelo 9y agoGoogle probably couldn't stomach mozilla's open source license which makes it difficult to distribute with proprietary code.
- asadotzler 9y agoMozilla's open source license was created 20 years ago precisely to make it easier to distribute proprietary bits with open bits. I'm not kidding, that was a primary goal.
