In light of this, you may want to rephrase your comment.

No problem. Here's my rephrase:

Google publishes most of it's code under an Open Source license as defined by the Open Source Initiative.

Most Google code is published under the Simplified BSD License which does allow the code to be used in a closed-source project.

Many of the Google-sponsored projects in the Google Summer of Code (and the changes made to Linux for things like the GoogleOS) are licensed under the GPL.

Better?

Yes, better. We strive for accuracy and truth on FR. Along with a bit of fun.
