Google replaced pushing Git tags for certain source code with obtaining source code via Google Drive after making a request through Google Forms. It's completely ridiculous and they've gradually become very slow at handling requests. They're in clear violation of the GPLv2 now.
That’s been Google’s MO since always. They called it crowd sourcing first. Have people take photos and do reviews, then gate it behind a login. Digest the whole internet into an LLM, then steal their traffic (before that it was AMP).
Google is stealing the cumulative work of OSS contributors.
