A:
The answer is no, Google does not own either your code or your data. Both of them are completely yours. Google only provides hosting for it - they have no more claim on your data and IP than Amazon does if you go with EC2. Take a look at section 6.3 of the terms.
I'm running mapfaire.com on the App Engine and I'm having a very good experience. I intend to continue using it for all my applications.

I think someone did an analysis on that... If you do actually get that many hits, and you have adsense on your site, then Google makes far more money than they lose on hosting costs :D

And you feel this answers your question, then you might want to mark it correct rather than upvote it...
