I know a handful of Googlers personally and several more by proxy.
They can no more be tarred by the same brush than you and I, but on
the whole they are people who at least understand FOSS quite well.

Google is a business and needs to earn money. If I worked for Google I
would be trying to make that sustainable. I think that their many
employees are doing that and more than a few are doing so with a free
software ethos.
