| Google, for example, is shepherding an open-source operating system for
| mobile phones called Android, and an open-source security tool called KeyCzar
| for handling cryptographic keys. Meanwhile, its main business of search is
| entirely closed: it reveals almost nothing about the underlying algorithm. It
| finds a useful middle-ground by opening the application-programming
| interfaces (APIs) to some online services, such as mapping, which lets
| third-party developers develop new uses. Since Google made its mapping APIs
| freely available in 2005, its traffic has soared.
