   @aral afaik FOSDEM is about free and open source software, which Google sponsors greatly. The comparison to Exxon mobile and Greenpeace is simply faulty.

     I agree though that one may very well argue that Google has clauses forbidding their developers to barely even touch AGPL software etc, but there is lots of code there available _for_ AGPL software that is maintained and possible through Google (because it's some kind of MIT/Apache/BSD license).
     
     Exxon's afaik never supplied the boats - or even the fuel (oh that'd be funny), which Greenpeace need when they go out to put banners on oil rigs and whatnot.
