I think Android is big enough to be immediately forked. There's many existing forks already, if they tried to take it private many companies would be invested in a new "Android core" being developed upstream - it's one of the few situations where open source can work, because businesses would throw money at an org that keeps them competitive

But I'll be hopeful but pessimistic about a Google breakup. It would be huge, it would be real change
