    So when Google removed don’t be evil, they really meant it. It shows more and more each day.

        Wow. I’ve heard that rumour being spread all over the place for YEARS now, and you’re the first to pull up proof that it’s still there. Interesting!

          It looks like the code of conduct used to include a preface about don’t be evil, that’s what was removed.

          “Preface Don’t be evil.” Googlers generally apply those words to how we serve our users. But “Don’t be evil” is much more than that. Yes, it’s about providing our users unbiased access to information, focusing on their needs and giving them the best products and services that we can. But it’s also about doing the right thing more generally – following the law, acting honorably, and treating co-workers with courtesy and respect.

          The Google Code of Conduct is one of the ways we put “Don’t be evil” into practice.”

      They’re just build flags or compiler versions being different, no need to be melodramatic.

      “We’re open source but not open source enough to your liking” is a VERY strange criteria for “evil” when most other commercial software companies are not open source at all.
