There is no such thing as Chromium, it is just a Chrome-lite. Nobody took Chromium and made a separate browser with a separate code from what Google pushes in the trunk. All others do is just add or remove whatever Google allows them, while accepting all serious commits coming down from Chrome. Webkit on the other hand had produced truly different engines - Chromium and Safari, developed differently and making different decisions. If Mozilla with switch to Chrome engine it will be yet another Chrome with mods.

That's only because all of these alternatives want to benefit from the free labor Google is putting into Chrome. If Microsoft wanted to, they could actually fork the entire project but then they would need to divert a lot of manpower to the effort.
