I would have to assume that any deal currently held by Yahoo would have to be upheld or compensated for if they sold to a third party. That&#x27;s a contract and those just don&#x27;t go away quietly.<p>As for one less search engine, true it might be an issue. But I&#x27;d rather they went with DuckDuckGo than Bing. Seems more in line with their stated philosophies.
