I think the poster is making a good point though- In this split, google the advertising company can freely contribute to the open source chromium. You need some model that leads the chromium maintainer to reject changes like this.
I'm sure there's some mechanism in antitrust to prevent the broken up companies from doing things like that. Otherwise, a "primary" company would just contract out the old other pieces and they're basically whole again.
That’s true, I just wonder if open source changes anything, legally. Unless one term of the breakup is “will not contribute to chromium”
