If I took my companies code and hosted it anywhere execept where I was authorized to do so, I'd expect flack for it. I'm less worried about Amazing stealing it, but it seems like a silly place to put it nevertheless.

Just to reiterate, that’s not what happened, no proprietary code was exposed externally, as the OP is based off of Java clone of the Quake2 code both of which were released as open source.

I don’t know what the policy of Google is with respect to hosting stuff that’s proprietary or sensitive on AWS but I imagine it requires approval just for lawyercat reasons, especially if any PII is collected given all of the regulations these days.
