A free service from Google? Is the source code available or are institutions going to be screwed if/when it gets canned?

For those who have forgotten: Code Search, Google Video, Wave, Buzz, Google Labs, Google Desktop, Google Notebook, Google Sets, Google Squared, Google Catalogs, Google Answers, Audio Ads, Google Base, Browser Sync, City Tours, Click-to-Call, Google Dashboard Widgets, Dodgeball, Jaiku, Google Mashup Editor, Google Directory, GOOG-411, Joga Bonito, Aardvark, Lively, Music Trends, Ride Finder, Google Shared Stuff, Sidewiki, FastFlip, Google Translate API, Writely, Google Health, PowerMeter, Google University Search, U.S. Government Search, Slide products (Disco, Pool Party, Video Inbox, Photovine, Slideshow, SuperPoke! Pets), Google Pack, Image Labeller and Google Dictionary. I'm sure I have missed a few things, but you get the idea.





It sounds like it is from Pearson not Google really, just available via Google Apps marketplace. Suspect they will start to charge if it takes off.


The code appears to be open source. You can checkout the code using git as described here:

http://code.google.com/p/openclass/source/checkout


I think that's just a nameclash. The main welcome page is in Russian, which would be unexpected from a Pearson/Google collaboration.


>warning: You appear to have cloned an empty repository.

There doesn't seem to be anything in that project.
