What would've happened with OpenSocial should Google got a stake on Facebook?
And what I mean is: Are open iniciatives being manipulated to hold a position against each other or google would eventualy got Facebook back from the dark side?

David Winer mentions the same thing http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=75197
I believe that Google would have done the same thing as now. OpenSocial would have been launch and Facebook in that case would have probably been one of the first ones to join it. As I mentioned before in other posts, I believe the shares were sold by Facebook in order to raise money, and was being acquired by Microsoft or Google, in order to get control over international advertising of Facebook for the years to come.
