Don't trust for profit organizations. Google might project itself as champion of open source but the reality is their revenue, is a result of standing on open source. Without gnu and Linux they will not even exist. When they needed google maps users they opened up. But given their profit motive they will have to shut down others which conflict with their profit. Its better to port service to something open source, like openstreetmap. Google is turning into, do every evil to generate value for shareholders. I think RMS fears of closed source js are true. It's like Windows Binary blobs.
