Google has often contributed code to the open source world (like this). However they don't AFAIK release any data. Google drove cars around the world photographing everything. But they claim copyright on it all. If they allowed derivative works of it, then Open Street Map could bloom and benefit massively.

Downvotes because I point out how Google can donate data, not just code? ☹
