Amazing the lengths people go to in order to avoid sharing and treating others well! Imagine if they did the opposite: imagine if they just freely shared their source code.

I mean, there's some amount of code Google really doesn't want to share (it's not shared with me and I and I work there) for various reasons including security. So I imagine there would be downsides ( and not a whole lot of up, much of the useful stuff is already shared)
