Perhaps a more pragmatic point: Google Earth came up to us and said
"hey, we'd like to do XYZ, do you object?" (or something along those
lines) This isn't us thinking "hey, be nice to do something like this,
let's pick Google as a partner" - it's a project approaching us, with
an idea they want to implement, for cooperation. Big conceptual
difference, to my mind at least, from us deciding to support one or
the other.
