Has Google ever sold any product off?
Could they, even? They don't build isolated products the same way that many other software companies do. Everything they build is built on their own infrastructure, not some commodity stack. Even if they released the source code to Reader for free, would it do anyone any good without the full suite of BigTable/Chubby/GFS/Googlebot/etc. services that I'm sure it is tightly integrated into?
