Google Drops Cloud Lawsuit Against US Government

Posted by Soulskill on from the seeing-eye-to-ear dept.

jfruhlinger writes "A year ago, Google sued the U.S. government because the government's request for proposals for a cloud project mandated Microsoft Office; Google felt, for obvious reasons, that this was discriminatory. Google has now withdrawn the suit, claiming that the Feds promised to update their policies (PDF) to allow Google to compete. The only problem is that the government claims it did no such thing."

    The option to not bid on the project. This is like me requesting bids from contractors to paint my house and a contractor suing me because he doesn't like the color I picked. TFB, don't bid, and have a nice day.
