Likewise for Google. Until that search engine is open source, it's like they've done nothing for open source. /s

Not a Googler, but an OSS dev. Google is different in that a) the Googlers inside OSS projects generally behave and are not power hungry and b) Google has started and open sourced large projects like Chromium or Go.

Microsoft tries to aggressively buy its way into existing mature projects.
