From "While some parts of our system may remain proprietary (like our infrastructure specific datastore) we'll always provide enough of our code to make sure that you can run your applications in your own data center if you'd like. We think we'll be able to do it better, but it should be your decision." --- Just like AppEngine then. 'Apache' Licenced sourse code: http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/downloads/list See: http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/source/browse/trunk/LICENSE http://waxy.org/2008/04/exclusive_google_app_engine_ported_to_amazons_ec2/ "One of the biggest criticisms of Google's App Engine have been cries of lock-in, that the applications developed for the platform won't be portable to any other service. This morning, Chris Anderson, the Portland-based cofounder of the Grabb.it MP3 blog service, just released AppDrop — an elegant hack proving that's not true."
