Right, so "literally the entire codebase for all their products" is incorrect. Thanks.


The open-source stuff is a rounding error. Think about all the Google products; Search, Google+, Gmail, Groups, Translate, Maps, Docs, Calendar, Checkout, Wallet, Voice, ... those are all in one repository. (Not to mention all the libraries and internal tools; those are all in there too.)


To be fair, Android and Chrome are pretty huge projects. I know the numbers (though I don't think I can share them outside of Google), and while they're nowhere close to being a big part of the total, they're also big enough to not be considered a rounding error.


Ah,rachelbythebay, you caught him for being "technically incorrect". Which, depending on how you look at it, is either the best or worst kind of correctness.
