Most companies use OpenBSD on to secure their periphery, especially
with pf. Though there is no direct link, there is something that
suggests it: http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-cvs&m=114780959425558 Quiet a
few OpenBSD and OpenSSH developers work at Google, as well.

Though none of the above guarantee or force Google to use OpenBSD,
lack of a similar or better secure OS may be one reason why a company
like Google will consider using OpenBSD. :-)
