Without taking anything away from their generous announcement, it's very much in their interest for .lep files to become a standard so that they do not have to transcode to jpeg when users are viewing files on DropBox. I'm happy they released it.

What regret? A lot of the open-source clones of Google's internal projects come from Google themselves.

Wait, since when is Facebook pushing for Haxe? I tried looking it up, but I'm not finding much. It would be really cool (I love Haxe). But I'm guessing you only went a bit over the top with that particular example.

Sorry that was a typo. I meant HHVM and Hack http://hhvm.com/
In google there is a regret that they didn't open source a lot of stuff, because it ends up being reproduced outside of google in some form. The open source companies have an advantage in hiring and overall advancement of their product by using the open source version whatever their internal version was.
You also see it in facebook's open source initiatives, like react, buck, haxe and so on.
