What happened
A Hacker News post reports that Google now replaces pushing Git tags for certain source code with obtaining the source via Google Drive after a request through Google Forms. The author describes the process as ridiculous and says Google has become very slow at handling requests. The post further claims that this practice is a clear violation of GPLv2.
