View submission: Why did I build AmputatorBot?
Nobody is even "free" to make changes to the linux kernel code then. Is it less open source? You are handwaving that argument.
That's fair. However, I do believe that there is a significant difference, the linux kernel code is maintained by mostly volunteers, where as Google is basically the only party maintaining the AMP github.
If you can host everything yourself, then the danger is.. what?
There isn't, but my point is that not everything about AMP is open-source.
So like every other page ever?
This was in response to the claim that there is no JavaScript on AMP pages. There is. So claiming that AMP is good for your privacy because it doesn't have any JavaScript, is just false. AMP pages can have JavaScript.

Oh, ok. Though perhaps... could it be said that if you run nojs they broke less than normal content?

Who pays the bills isn't really the point. Because yes, linux maintainers are kind-of independent, but at the same time many of them are employed by this or that big company (and even the linux foundation money comes from them at the end of the day)
I believe the actual quibble is whether your own contribution (if objectively relevant to the project) can make its way into it or not.

I'm not a dev, but everything I could think of seems here[1] (in addition to what I said)
