And the fact that the API is "open-source" (nonsense) is quite a funny stanza :) and reading, re-reading the Ubuntu Philosophy, would make "what you run on your side is *free* (implicitly, it is not your business what we run and what we do of what you trust us with)" more and more bitter by the minute.
