Straight up, that's a bit of an apples-and-oranges comparison. In the
article you cite, Google is limiting the use of *its own apps* for free,
not limiting the use of other people's apps. Google wrote and hosts
Google Apps, AFAIK.

Now, if this article were covering changes to Google App Engine instead
of Google Apps, then the comparison might be more direct, since Google
App Engine is all about people hosting their own apps for others to use.

This is not to say that Google couldn't change the terms of the Market
down the road in various ways, for better and for worse.
