Google technologies, would have been more better, if they've released them under GPL kind of license like Affero GPL[1]. By doing that, their technologies will be reviewed by community. And license like Affero GPL, will also provide protection to Google, from their technologies becoming closed sourced. > Google spends a lot (not only its money, but also dev resources) to make > Opensource better.

And BtW, Microsoft also has their research division Microsoft Research, doing some cool research, and spending lots of money on R&D stuff. And open source is not some topic, it is a philosphy. > And for rest of the thing, just think what would have happened if Google > have charged you just a penny for its service.

Free Software is not about money, it is about freedom to do whatever you wanted to do (including modifying) with software, except making it closed source. So, if Google charges money for their service, it is fine, they're running clusters of servers, and they need someway to pay for the cost of running clusters. > > Please search for the youTube video "The Future of technology : By Eric > Schmidt" national venture capital Association, 2006 ANNUAL MEETING. > April 26, 2006. > and watch what they say to people for better service and how they are > giving out money to make world better. > > Cheers > > -- > ------------------------------------ > Ravi S.
