I think OP was sort of getting at the idea of AMP becoming a standard owned externally to google. But the likelihood of that happening seems... low.

- sverhagen 8y agoWouldn't that be an excellent solution for Google to silence the critics? (Excellent for them, not for us.) Donate the whole thing to a non-profit like Apache, who barely have the manpower to do more than host it, then still regain control by having many of the contributors on payroll?
- cliffordthedog 8y agoProbably, but I doubt they even do that. Is google the worst company around when it comes to this sort of almost faux open source?
- wmf 8y agoThe real complaints are not about AMP per se but about Google's market power, so it's not clear that Google can do anything to satisfy critics. (Even splitting search into a separate company would still leave that company as a monopoly.)
