From what I've read, the Google appengine code runs on Google servers, period. Does no one else have any concern about the scope and size of Google? Regardless of the supposed altruism of Google's founders, the larger they get, and the more you throw your lot in with them, the more you will be forced to play their game their way. Having dealt with Google several times, I can attest that they are not the most easy company to deal with. While Rietveld seems to be a kewl tool, it bothers me that it can't be hosted on my local server. Maybe it's just me.

Rietveld: another code review aid Posted May 8, 2008 19:50 UTC (Thu) by jbailey (subscriber, #16890) [Link] (obdisclosure: I'm a Google employee, but the usual these are my words not the company's blah blah apply..) Slashdot had a post[0] of someone porting appengine to Amazon's EC2 cloud. I'd be really surprised if some "GNU AppEngine" for standalone hosting on free platforms didn't show up. Something I do like about Google is that they've (we've?) been pretty good about publishing the APIs that are used and not minding when other people implement that API themselves.
