precisely. I wholeheartedly agree with this statement as well. The differentiator? Linux, like Chromium, is open-source. I would welcome an OS monoculture with every OS being based upon a linux kernel.

I don't think I understand the desire that something be open source.

I feel like, if I wanted to, I could contribute to the linux kernel. All that I would need to do is submit pull requests, have it vetted, and gain reputation within that community.

Could you say that about any arbitrary pull request for chromium? Even if it was against googles interests to merge it?

Is your contention that I just fork it and compete with chromium with my PR integrated?

I don't view these projects as equivalent at all.

Just so we're clear, I definitely do not agree with this sentiment.
