What's the worst thing that could happen to Google?
ramanujan: The Affero GPL.If it becomes popular, it closes the server side loophole and Goog would have to either give up on using new open source software or else open source their codebase.That's why Chris DiBona at Google Code won't let it on their servers. Search "Affero GPL" for more stuff around that.Ps: if I worked at MS and wanted to destroy Goog, I would go around offering hackers $100k or $1M to switch their licenses to Affero GPL. Basically the size of the offer would be proportional to the userbase.With a $100m (= size of Bing's marketing budget) you could do a lot of damage.Note that this doesn't even get us started on how if Ballmer had any sesnse he'd have built in adblock for adwords bundled into IE9 and turned on by default as a feature.
