Which is why I wish they would use a less liberal and more copy-left license to keep the tech monopolists out.
It is a huge problem that a certain tech monopolist controls the most popular browser in the world and a shame that this browser was build using the free labor of naive volunteer contributors that just wanted to help out an open source project.
Linux would have never been so successful and kept being a free operating system without its GPL license. And even that turned out to be not enough protection, as the user-hostile Android system proves.

- cardanome 4y agoI am saying it can only be a viable (user-freedom respecting) alternative to the browsers of the tech monopolists if it enforces copy-left and manages to keep the greedy hands of these and other monopolists out if it.
