there not similar at all

I'm not sure such strong language is accurate. Google could do more, certainly, but Android's available source code, the Summer of Code project, and other efforts make Google a decent open source citizen.

> Google is not a friend of open-source, Linux, or anyone else. They are a parasite in sheep's clothing.

A great display of trying to abstain from any form of subtlety in your understanding of a situation.

Google, like any large organization has its bad sides. But, as I always say, Google is a many-tentacled beast. And to say none of those tentacles have been good to open source would be a lie.

For one, the Summer of Code programme has over the years put a huge amount of money into open source and helped to garner a lot of new contributors for projects.

Google is a large company. They're neither a friend of anyone nor an enemy of anyone; that's something that only a single conscious mind can do. Google is a company with thousands upon thousands of people each individually seeking the most profit for the company, and no ability to decide to collectively like or dislike something.

In a lot of cases, a lot of these individual people believe that ensuring a healthy free software ecosystem brings the company profit. It's our job to prove them correct.
