Google's Brew Of Open Source And Custom Code
,----[ Quote ]
| Reliance on open source code runs deep among Google's developers, and
| the company uses open source in its production systems, too. The software
| has been Google-ized--something new added to make it fit Google's way
| of doing things.
|
| A majority of Google's engineering desktops are Linux machines. They're
| typically loaded with tools such as the Free Software Foundation's Gnu
| C Compiler; Make, a Unix utility for assembling files into a C program;
| and Apache Ant, open source code for assembling Java applications from
| Java files.
