Licensing out which GAE environment?
The datastore isn't that big a deal - folks have already built a
compatible interface with a MySql backend.
The API has lots of other pieces, but their either open-source
(memcache), can be used as is (PIL), or not that big a deal (users,
except for the google login part). (Yes, google has a pile of servers
that provide PIL services, but that's an implementation choice.)
The hard part is the infrastructure holding this all together.
That infrastruture is Google's secret sauce for managing a large
amount of computation.
You can do without if you're not going to be big, but

If we keep our app in its current form, we can choose from thousands

bound to Google's pricing, SLA, privacy policy, whims. Why doesn't
Google revolutionize hosting by licensing out the GAE environment? If
the neighbourhood datacentre could offer me a GAE environment, I'd be
converting my app tomorrow.
Everyone is already amazed by what's been created here. Google
shouldn't wait until someone releases an open-source implementation of
GAE that becomes the new standard for the hosting world, replacing
dedicated servers and virtual private servers.
