Sure, technically. The same way Chromium is technically open source. Funny how everything in the web browser world ends up how Google wants it regardless.

What's stopping you from forking and making changes you want?

Literally nothing

Nothing. The issue is that your changes don’t actually do much when the web moves on without them.

until they come up with Angular-esque Dart 2.0 that is not backwards compatible and you're left maintaining their mess.

Forks are nice for small patches or development teams with a plan, no one outside Google cares enough about Dart fwik.
