Yes, it's publicly archived too, but there is at least no implicit agreement that it's OK to scrape the openBSC archive and use it to train your AI, although I imagine google are doing that anyway.
Actually, there is: by the very definition of "public" - BND, Google (or me :) are complete free to scrape, train AI on or print the messages and make origami out of them. Using gmail adds absolutely nothing new to the picture.
I've done quite a lot of research on silicon valley and corporate surveillance companies, and Google specifically.
So does FSF I believe. Yet, GNU Hurd, GCC and numerous other projects have participated in GSoC for many years without any issues. They even came up with guidelines about it: https://www.gnu.org/software/soc-projects/guidelines.html
Don't take it personally, but I'd rather side with gnu.org on this one :)
If developer X is working on FOSS just to get paid, and does not care about the ethics, they are possibly in the wrong job
I don't think we're in position to judge if FOSS developers are "in the wrong job" based on ethics disagreements.
I'll say it once more; google is not your friend.
Nobody claimed otherwise. You're preaching to the choir :)
