From my experience with working there, it wasn't actually that hard to advocate and get things open sourced that my team worked on after Google made the decision to kill it. (ndash video player stuff that was being done by the team I was on in Fiber @ Google Waterloo). Management is on the whole open to these things, and Google -- unlike other companies I've been at -- has an official process for this, and it feels on the whole fair. For all the sins that Google commits, they're generally decent about the whole open source community. There's things they rely on they should be providing funding for, certainly. But they're good about letting their people contribute, and often good about opening things up to the outside world. Of course this project is bigger and more complicated, and clearly had tendrils into a lot of other things, so...
