</div>Just to be clear, I do not think that google is evil. Of course I think<br>
it is better when we think really really hard about how to create free<br>
(in the sense of GNU) alternatives to currently proprietary solutions,<br>
but I don't think we should be paranoid about google or any other<br>
company... at least not to the point that it hinders our work. :)<br>
