So regulate AWS because it’s not building enough open source software? How do you determine what the proper amount of open source for AWS to contribute to? Why

So regulate AWS because it’s not building enough open source software? How do you determine what the proper amount of open source for AWS to contribute to? Why should they be required to contribute to open source? Does their existence prohibit others from doing so?

Actually, I'm suggesting that their behavior dominating new business lines for software applications be examined. It's not only infrastructure, although infrastructure is where they started out. They shouldn't be required to do anything, certainly not contribute to open-source. But they are in a position, or will be soon, to abuse antitrust laws by leveraging their dominance of the public cloud. Should that be regulated? Yes. The laws exist and just need to be enforced.
