I suggest taking a look at http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-GBSGBbc9UtA/TmexwLaJN9I/AAAAAAAAAK... for an indication of Google's current thinking on "open".

Google isn't as bad as Facebook, yet. But they're not exactly as "open" as many other organizations either.



Right - and the kind of thinking embodied on that slide doesn't inspire much confidence in their motives. i.e. they aren't being open because they believe it's good for everyone. They seem to intend it as a Trojan horse that will give them control over other people's products.


Where does that slide come from? Is the rest of the deck available?


It's apparently part of the discovery documents from one of the ongoing lawsuits Google is involved in. You know as much as I do about it now; I have no idea whether the rest is available without looking in court records.
