AMP Is open source, Microsoft/Bing are on board, and Google recently stepped back from AMP governance to encourage more parties involved. No one group will hold more than 1/3 control.
Google AMP is not "open source". You might be able to offer suggestions about it, but it's not like a piece of software that you can fork and develop independently. Google controls the main reading device (Google Chrome). The "open source" line is marketing BS.

When I read "no group will hold more than 1/3 control" it sounds like 3 big players will wink at each other while they pillage the WWW and divide the spoils.

AMP is the version of every news site that takes 10 seconds to redirect me to the real version if I'm lucky.
