> Does that mean Google can take them away at any time? It's open source software, so no. The product is basically google vetting the software, building it in a reproducible way and then packaging it up so you can have some more confidence in where it's come from. If they shut it down you could switch back to downloading the same builds from wherever you used to get them, though obviously you wouldn't then benefit from the vetting etc.
