IIRC, Google tried and Ellison flat refused to settle on any terms that would
allow Google to remain in business at all. Something along the lines of 100% of
all income was his demand at one point I believe.
I could be mis-remembering but I don't think so.

Google is a public company. They have a duty to their shareholders to attempt to
make a reasonable profit. If they start acting like a charity, instead, their
shareholders have the right to kick the current management out out and install
somebody with a stronger emphasis on the bottom line.
Google is no longer solely the property of Brin & Ellison. They can't just
hand out other peoples' money as if it were their own.
Not that I don't sympathise, but you would probably be ticked off if somebody
decided to donate part of your pay packet to charity without asking you. It's
the same principle, in its own way as evil as destroying the technology would
be.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
