Very good point. Google did the same thing to Space Data Corp: took a look at their technology, paid them nothing, then used that knowledge to develop Project Loon.

I have no idea what they did with the knowledge gained and do not purport to say they used it.

I am curious if any of what they learned was then used in ChromeCast Audio as that GUY who invited me is a tech lead on that project.
