Just because something is legal, doesn't mean that it isn't utterly immoral.

The Google guy should be ashamed of himself, apologize, and try to remedy the injustice he perpetrated - get Oz a job, and/or credit him in their work.

> Google guy should be ashamed

Should be but is not, that's the problem. He's probably happy about a pay-raise.

The problem is that Google has the monopoly. No use trying to boycott a monopoly.

The only remedy is anti-monopoly and related legislation. And for that we need to elect (into power) politicians that are willing to enact such legislation.

That's a lot of projection with very little fact.

If anything I'm ashamed of the sheer volume of personal time, money, and effort I put into helping build and enable community, only for accusations like this to lead people to believe all kind of false things about me to the extent that they'll write me horrifying emails, and speculate on Ycombinator about my motives!

While I'm not a perfect person, indeed, I am far from it, I did not perpetrate any injustice here, and I resent the accusation.
