This story is a waste of time. The entire premise of the "undermine Facebook's technology" strategy is false: the whole point of GPL (and MIT and...) licensed code is that vendors cannot screw customers in the way the author is suggesting. Worst case, Facebook would have to fork MySQL or PHP or whatever technology Google successfully "undermined."

If doing this were even possible, it would be a huge PR disaster for Google and a huge positive PR opportunity for Facebook. (Imagine them becoming the corporate sponsors for the actually-free forks of MySQL or PHP or whatever.)

This article is not worth the amount of time this comment has taken to write.

These are just ideas to sabotage a company and it would be too naive to think that these things won't backfire on Google if they every try anything like this.
