Why Google can see my secret code?

i.e. http://www.lysator.liu.se/~astrand/projects/pyobfuscate/

Search the word "obfuscate"

There is one other serious issue with the Google appengine: relying on
a predatory company like Google to host your startup’s application
could be very risky from a business point of view. Will Google allow
you to upload obfuscated code or obfuscated Python byte code? Do they
have access to your code? (yes) What if you have invested heavily in
developing some commercial product that Google wants to copy or
acquire? Will they have more leverage because they host your code?

And how is this different from hosting with someone else? or you plan

Which are stupid, make things run slower and sometimes get you weird
random bugs. After all in todays world your secret is not your code
but your company, just an example what is the big innovation of say
youtube?

link?

seriously a javascript compressor is not an obfuscators, see
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minify

that has a serious advantage as it reduces latency.

have you heard of MACOSX? this isn't really new... anyway I'm going to
stop replying as you seem to be trolling about how bad google is, and
to be honest that's a discussion I'll prefer not to have with
strangers.
