DOJ probably isn't able to guarantee chrome & potentially android are taken over by totally ethical, stable companies/NPOs who will keep the projects open source

This doesn't seem like their job. This is antitrust, as long as the result isn't monopolistic, that's it, no?

You're right, but the concern is still valid.

Oh, it absolutely is, sorry if it felt like I was challenging that. It's just a reminder to temper our hopes.

No worries! Yeah I agree.

it's not their job, i agree. not under the current constitution and laws.

i meant to highlight that no one is going to guarantee anything (other than Google losing ownership of Chrome/Android).
