Just about everything has a price. The fraudulent 'free' offeres are those that charge fees and what not to collect the 'free vacation' or 'free money' (which never appears) or whatever. But I have not heard of Google doing that. Anyone offering free data storage is usually expecting to sell ads or premium services. What to watch out for is a site with hidden or later-added claims of ownership over non-trivial amounts of data uploaded to a site. But I don't believe Google does that and don't expect they will, since it would kill the good will that they depend on. So do read Terms of Service. If you do not agreee, do not check the '[]agree' box. Just leave. Python is about as free as anything. The price of using it is the work of downloading and installing and the agreement to act civilized and neither falsely claim authorship nor sue the provider (PSF) you never paid anything to. Contributors, on the other hand, have to sign a form giving the PSF the irrevocable perpetual right to distribute Python with their contributions included -- or someting like that. tjr -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
