I've already read it on slashdot, boingboing, dirson, and several other 
sources.

As for my opinion, I'm afraid that something like konqueror-apple-webcore 
might happen: let's think Google builds "Google Media Player", built upon 
"libgmp" (the FLOSS component of "GMP"), based on VLC's codebase. GMP's 
development would be closed, and improvements over libgmp would be manually 
ported back to VLC. Lots of work, and definitively not a lot of 
compatibility.

For references, check the history behind Apple, using Konqueror (KHTML) 
codebase to create webcore, and Safari on top of that.


We should *not* let that happen, guys.


(Sorry for being pessimistic here)
