Of course it's true. Google doesn't pay companies that developed open source software that Google now relies on. That's exactly how open source works. Google helps "open source" in general by releasing and funding open source projects. But Google doesn't pay companies that build useful open source software in the first place, to use their software.
- DannyBee 8y ago"Google doesn't pay companies that developed open source software that Google now relies on." This is false. Seriously - i'm not sure why people on HN like to offer things as facts that they simply aren't ever going to know about. Google in fact does pay companies that developed open source software that Google relies upon.
