So should Google be forced to GPL the sources to GFS?
because it is (presumably) a Linux kernel module running on publically accesible servers. Clients who search using google, or use google maps are using the GFS drivers to access data. By your argument, that makes it subject to the redistribution terms of the GPL.
It gets a little hard to judge these cases!
