Google wouldn't work at all well under the GPL. Why? Because if everyone

knowledge.
But google gets its knowledge from lots of little actors (web page
makers). I suspect the thing that will replace google will get its
information from lots of little AIs each attached to a
person/government or other organisation. While AGI will likely be a
google replacer, it will also be an outlook replacer as well. The
micro scale and the macro.
If the macro AGI can't translate between differences in language or
representation that the micro AGIs have acquired from being open
source, then we probably haven't done our job properly.
