First, is Google+ project open source? I readed some time ago that google+ is entirely written in google closure and I would like to ponderate a real big enterprise implementation of closure as could be google+.
You can Check The following link. There you can find a lot about google products and open source packages and programs.
No, Google+ is not open source. Google provides a number of APIs that provide developers with access to a subset of Google+ features and there are "client libraries" (libraries written in a variety of programming languages) for using these APIs. Many of the client libraries are open source. Google+, itself, is not open source however. As to your question about Closure, you should keep in mind that Google+ consists of both the user interface that you see in your browser as well as server-side code that processes and stores this data... moreover, there is more to the UI than just JavaScript (e.g. CSS and HTML), so even if all of the JavaScript in the UI used Closure... there would still be plenty of other stuff.

We are going to develop some mobile app for one of our clients, and we are defining the technical solution for the backend server.
Basically, we need to implement a backend providing REST apis for the apps. The apps will need features such as user authentication, handling of user profiles and user contents. The backend should also expose a web administration interface and allow to manipulate some of the app contents in a CMS-like way.
My client specifically wants to avoid baas solution (like Parse), and I am trying to find some open source software able to provide some of the features out of the box, to avoid writing everything from scratch, and develop the other parts. We can use cloud services such as AWS for hosting the backend.
What existing platform/software would you advise?
Here a a few options to look into:
DreamFactory: http://www.dreamfactory.com/
Loopback: http://loopback.io/
Apache Usergrid: http://usergrid.incubator.apache.org/
BaasBox: http://www.baasbox.com/
Not sure if this answer your question. Did you come across other options?
I am currently using apache usergrid for one of my projects and consider it powerful on following areas;
Authentication & Authorization (also social login)
Activity creation and activity feeds
Asset storage (local or aws s3)
Dynamic collection creation
Search on collections and support custom query language (via elastic search)
But it doesn't support push notifications. If you need that out of the box, you may have a look at BaasBox. It seems a good alternative to usergrid.
I didn't find documentation adequate for usergrid (i mean for internals not api usage), so you have to dig source code to find out answers.
If you are developing social application (user activities, feeds, comments, likes) it is hard to update counters in a document (e.g. updating comments and likes count). It is not natively supported. You may sync increments on the same document using a queue like kafka.

I'm in the thought process of making my application open source. Before considering the licensing options, I would like to consider the below scenario and get your opinions.
My app is using some paid components for a module to work. That is, I'm paying for a developer license and a server license for the development and deployment of that module. Is this a showstopper in making my app as an open source application?
Yes the application you make would still be Open Source, because this is your own code so you can choose what you wanna do with it.
The way I look at it is, when you design an Open Source application that is running on Windows, it is Open Source even though it uses some code from Microsoft that is not Open Source.
And you can also have an application that is Open Source, but that you charge money for.
If someone is experts on this field then please correct me if I am wrong :)
I use this app to understand open source license terms (they have proprietary license too): https://enterprise.dejacode.com/license_library/
Hope it helps.

Does anyone have any ideas on measuring the popularity of an open source project? I thought it would be interesting to create a tools which would compare the popularity of similar open source projects.
The first metric that came to mind was to compare the number of Google results for each specific software, but it seems difficult to programmatically obtain this number (other than scraping it from the direct search page - this also runs into legal issues with Google I believe).
Any other metric ideas? I'd like the end product to be a tool, so metrics which are able to be accessed through code would be preferred.
Thanks,
Chris
If the projects are hosted by platforms like Sourceforge or Github, you can access the number of downloads...
SourceForge offer download statistics;
http://sourceforge.net/project/stats/detail.php?group_id=263007&ugn=dvwa&mode=week&type=prdownload
Google Code have activity ratings.
Maybe you could use those?

There are plenty of statistics/analytics providers for Internet deployed software (e.g. Google Analytics), but I'm looking for an analytics tool to integrate into a LAN/intranet based web application.
I'm aware of AWStats, but I'd prefer something with a design similar to Google Analytics, where a Javascript callback can be embedded into the app and call back to an analytics server. This doesn't require any sort of extra application server configuration and access to run.
I'm thinking there's nothing available that isn't proprietary / pay-for, but I'd love to be told I'm wrong!
Piwik should be able to meet your needs. It's not as advanced as Google Analytics, but it uses a Javascript callback and can therefore give you more info than AWStats and Webalizer.
There is also Webalizer, but its pretty ugly.
You can look at Mint, it isn't free, but it costs $30 for the site, forever, so it is really a bargain for any large site.
Piwik works great and I use it on some Intranet sites without a fully qualified domain name. But note that Piwik needs PHP to run. I've used it on Lunix and IIS servers though.
If your intranet has a fully qualified domain name (ours is intranet.example.com, for instance) Google Analytics will work just fine. The admin interface will never tell you you've installed the tracking code properly, but it will collect data just fine.
I haven't tried it on a domain-less URL like http://intranet/. Worth a try, though.

I know that Google does some open source but a lot of their assets are very closed source. What are the main ones that are open source and those not?
Android - fully open (I think)
GMail - Closed
Search - Obviously closed
Chrome - Some open source bits (webkit)... but I'm not sure
JavaScript compilers (that Steve Yegge is working with)
Youtube - Closed
Feedburner - Closed Blogger - Closed
I am struggling to come up with big pro-OSS products from Google.
(Disclaimer: I'm a Google employee, and therefore obviously biased :)
Have a look at this page for a fairly large list of our open source APIs and projects. (I'm particularly involved in Protocol Buffers and the C# port.)
Other things to consider off the top of my head, some of which are no doubt on that list:
Google Java collections
GWT (Google Web Toolkit)
Wave (in the future)
You might also consider code.google.com to be a "pro-OSS product" in its own right.
Chrome is entirely open-source, as Chromium.
Google CTemplate, a templating library for C++.
http://code.google.com/p/zxing/ ZXing multi-format 1D/2D barcode image processing library implemented in Java. Possibly it's not the main one and not the highest quality but I've found it useful and open-source as opposed to most other such libraries.
Jaiku, as of recenty.
