## Quote — verbatim

> Google effectively took what is open source and white-labeled and called their own, and a company that actually developed Spark doesn't get to take the market... I have friends of mine whose companies were shut down — open source companies — because cloud copied this offer.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

His "burgers and fries" argument that clouds monetize open-source services; Databricks/Spark vs. Google Dataproc as the example.
