Chromium isn’t an open source project at all. It’s a company project that releases open source code, but all the decisions are made by the company, not by any community.
- jckahn 4y agoI disagree that this could not be considered open source. Chromium could be forked at any time by anyone, and then developed freely from there. That’s as much as you can reasonably expect from any project you’re not paying for, IMO.
- trasz 4y agoYou can fork - the source is technically open - and you could form an open source project around it, but the current project isn’t. And you could expect a whole lot more. To me Open Source is less about being able to fork, and more about not being dependent on some particular company.
