Google bones an open source startup?

That seems to be what the CEO of the startup is claiming here. This little company was about to raise some VC money but along came “one of the biggest non-evil Internet companies” asking if they’d like to be acquired instead. They said yes, and waited, and waited, and then the non-evil company changed its mind and walked away. And the startup couldn’t raise money because the VCs felt burned. Money quote: “Recommendation: always beware of wolves dressed as Grandma, they may be more like Microsoft than they admit.”
