The web components in Chrome and Edge are both implemented in the open source Chromium project. So, it is free for all to read, use and modify as they wish (in accordance with the terms of the license https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/master/LICENSE https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/master/LICE...)
- c-smile 6y agoHere is running campaign to Open Source Sciter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/c-smile/open-source-sciter-engine https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/c-smile/open-source-sci... By donating there you can help to make it happen, your move? That will be real Open Source. Edge and Chrome are not Open Source, they are users of it.
- xmprt 6y agoHolding open source hostage to a $100,000 goal doesn't sound like "real" open source to me either. And you're still going to offer it under either GPL or paid commercial licenses. Chromium is released under a BSD license which is a lot more permissive. It's totally fine to make money but when people have valid critiques you shouldn't turn around and try shaming competitors about something that you're not even doing.
- c-smile 6y agoYes, it is BSD, but who pays for Chromium development? By financing that BSD project that organization is buying the right to define Web standards by its own. BSD is just a business model for them : you wine her, you dine her, you buy her. Such an Open Source, eh?
