Don&#x27;t trust for profit organizations. Google might project itself as champion of open source but the reality is their revenue is a result of standing on open source. Without gnu and Linux they will not even exist.<p>WHen they needed google maps user they opened up. But given their profit motive they will have to shut down others which conflict with their profit.<p>Its better to port service to something open source like openstreetmap. Google is turning into do every evil to generate value for shareholders.
