They do for the kernel - they produce an "appliance".
Ah, I stand corrected.
WRT the Linux kernel, Google is essentially a closed source company.
They've quietly fed little bits back now and then but not made a big song
and dance about it. Hopefully with Andrew there and the like more will

Strange that the NIC and SATA driver bits never seem to be among those
"little bits"... Along with filesystem and other modifications
discussed in the press, or observable net stack behavior when connecting
to their computers over the 'net.
So, emphasis on "little", I guess.
