This is a brilliant move on the part of Google. Solving a real problem with a (seemingly) good solution. But it's not without it's drawbacks - namely the fact it's from Google. Google have cooperated with intelligence agencies in the past. We know this. For the project to be a success it needs to be completely open - anyone should be able to audit all of the code. Hopefully that will be the case.
