The complaint further suggests that a senior executive in the Google Apps partner program at the time, Scott McMullan, told LimitNone that the application had the potential to accrue 50 million users and this was something that was "just too big to come from someone else.”

Ray Glassman, CEO of LimitNone, says that far from not being evil Google "invited us to work with them, to trust them – and then stole our technology.”

The lawyers representing LimitNone, David Rammelt and Susan Greenspon of the Chicago office of Kelley Drye & Warren LLP, told Businesswire that "It's shocking that Google would engage in this type of conduct; particularly when the other party is a small software company that built its business specifically to help Google sell its existing and future products. People need to realize that Google is just another large publicly traded corporation that will do whatever it takes to increase its revenue, even if that means risking its reputation among developers.”

The payoff for the lawsuit is a compensation claim for some US $950 million (AUD $991 million) to cover the lost revenue.
