Actually, with Summer of Code, I think that google contributes more to FOSS software than almost any other entity that I can name. Maybe their specific patches to the linux kernel they keep to themselves, but they more than make up for it in paying for developers to write code that will benefit lots of end users. Those kernel patches are in all likelihood not suitable for desktop or most non-distributed server installations anyway. And those who would need them, are likely Google's competitors.
I thank Google for their contributions to FOSS and SoC in particular. Evil or not, I cannot say. But I benefit from Google's services on a day to day basis.

Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
