I would say that Kingsley has a relatively high ratio of spatially coextensive money : mouth on showing his wares to the octocat.
The bloomberg article describes the ☁ service as a consumer of external data. I would assume that there would be a certain amount of free lunch cycles, and support for open data, information, and knowledge providers, as it makes the ecosystem more viable.
I thing IBM is also ☁ing bits of infosphere. They gave away UIMA and Eclipse (the bastards).
(AWS is the ecosystem to beat and lord knows, semantic search is not Amazon's competitive advantages.)

I would suspect that there will not be a lot of open source applications
except in areas funded by governments and produced by clusters of
academics (research support systems).
The big need will be in the commercial area where the application will
be regarded as a competitive advantage not to be shared with anyone.
