I believe the previous poster was only talking about openness to the public. (Is Google distinctively more "open" internally than, say, Microsoft or SAP? I think that's a different topic, and one that I'm not so interested in.)

As I wrote, I agree with the view that parts of Google are not disclosed publicly.

My question is, we all know that Google has some closely held secrets. In that case, how do I tell if (public) openness is part of the culture? Can I use that to estimation method if the level of openness has increased or decreased at Google over the last decade?
