That’s not how those things work. As soon as two corps decide a buyout/a
merge management is asked to anticipate it and start working and
thinking as if the buyout/merge was effective.
And then if regulators finally say no, it costs some back-pedalling, but
you don’t announce that kind of change if you do not expect regulators
to ok it.
Sure, but the fact is that there's going to be a long run way and I
would not expect anything to change in the community space for some
time, just look at the recent github process that happened with
Microsoft.
