Google Goes Sort of Open Source
December 30, 2009
Short honk: If you think Google is abandoning its open source interests, you will find the list in “35 Google Open-Source Projects That You Probably Don’t Know” a useful list. There are about three dozen projects listed. Some of Google’s wizardry will never be tagged open source. Other projects are, when Google has a perception that benefits outweigh risks. My research suggests that open source may not be defined is exactly the same way as some others explain the concept. Some definitions of open source do not include the nuances power, money, and control.
