Summer of Code Org Application Deadline Approaches
chrisd writes "Just wanted to drop a line reminding open source projects that they only have until March 12th (Pacific time) to apply for Google's Summer of Code. We are accepting more organizations this year than last because we want to add a couple hundred more students to the program. If you are part of a great project or know someone who is, we'd love to see an application. Please note that this is for organizations and not for prospective students, that's not for a few more weeks (see the program timeline)!"
You need to check out http://code.google.com/more/ some time.
They open source a *massive* quantity of their code and APIs.
I imagine that Google Earth, for instance, has all sorts of licensing issues attached to it, given that Google doesn't own much of the imagery being used.
They're no saints, but they seem to put forth a good effort, which is a heck of a lot more than you can say about most corporations.
