So, what is the difference between Microsoft'a APIs, SUN's APIs and my own API? The GPL does not say about that neither, and if it is not forbidden, its allowed!
How do you distinguish which API is OK and which is not? Adobe API? By the size of the company?
Google is just a badly spelled number with 100 zeros. For what media organization is using it is their problem - its the same thing like if they would use word "splendid" to describe a war.
This is just another example that Google (not google) extracts the money any way they see fit - wait until they have the same market cap as Microsoft - will they be easier to bear? I do not think so...
