Google makes it very easy to leave and take your data with you. Google contributes as much of their internal software to the Free Software community as they can. They do need to make money, but they're trying to do it the old fashioned way: make products people they like. Interesting, since I would say pretty much the same thing about Apple (certainly with the Mac platform).
