Iirc the Linux Foundation picked it up.

  I just imagined an alternate reality, where the kernel came packaged with its own deeply-integrated 'suggested' browser. Linux had become everything it set out to destroy.

    I might be wrong (I've only used Linux since 2001) but I never felt Linus or Linux set out to destroy something but rather first to try out what was possible and later to enable more and more.

      Of course! Linux is free to anyone, even Steve Ballmer if he has a change of heart. My comment was very much intended as tongue-in-cheek.

    That brings "magnificent monolith" to an entire new level: a kernel with built-in javascript interpreter, DOM, HTML and CSS renderer. Sounds a bit like what Mozilla had in mind with their mobile OS back in the days.
