Start the meme! Open sourcing skymap is awesome! Thanks google!

How is Cloud different from other software, which can also be killed, unless of course, it is open source. But even with open source, it is more convenient if the company continues to maintain and support it.

Of course they do. All (new) material is copyrighted. Even this post.
