Google: the Godfather of Open Source?
,----[ Quote ]
| It's well known that Google runs its vast array of servers using a
| custom version of GNU/Linux. But this is only one aspect of its support
| for free software. Others include its Summer of Code, now well established
| as an incubator of both coding talent and projects, and more recently
| its open source code repository, which offers a useful alternative to
| Sourceforge.net. Similarly, in porting Picasa to GNU/Linux, Google has
| made contributions to Wine, while open source projects in Sri Lanka have
| been the beneficiaries of more direct help, to the tune of $25,000.
