Would breaking up big tech software companies have the same effect as it does with regular companies? I can't shake the idea it won't really work. People don't want the 2nd best free (gratis) mapping software.

I guess we should dig into your past and hold everything you've did 20 years ago against you?

If one has not tried to sincerely make amends or doesn't appear to have changed then it's resonable take past actions into consideration?? I still see Microsoft making anti-consumer moves and they ain't making Windows free software (free as in freedom).
