Google Launches Google Code

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the submission-avalanche dept.

" Can't say that I'm surprised that our old friend (and former Slashdot Author) Chris DiBona is working on this one. They have links to several open source projects, as well as to Google API information.

    Yea, when does Google get its own category and icon?

    Yeah, I did too. I'm really not sure I see why thye haven't. The amount of hardware required makes anyone "stealing" the code and setting up "Hoogle.com" just about impossible. (The only one who might want to is MSNSearch, and do you think they would really use open source code so publicly?)

    Not saying that I think they have a moral obligation here, I think they have done more than enough for the FOSS community.... but I am sort of curious as to why they keep their source closed.
