There's only one Linux kernel that is primarily driven by volunteers, headed up by a non-profit, and does not define and interpret a shared resource (HTML/Javascript)
A monoculture of browser engines gives a lot of control to the parent organizations of those engines. Google gets to define the future of HTML and Javascript because theirs is the #1 engine by a wide margin, which in my opinion, they got to in part due to anticompetitive practices.
Licensing doesn't mean anything in terms of the monoculture because, let's be honest, there's only 1 Blink. You can fork, but you're still forking Google's spec of HTML.
