No, but the faq does mention:
  What license may the programs be developed under?
    Any that the mentoring organization chooses that are still free or open
    source. Also, all software development must happen in the open, on a
    website like SourceForge, Tigris, Savannah, Apache, or Berlios.

So, if Google is sponsoring the code (that makes it work-for-hire), and
they've said that it has to be "free or open source", how does that relate
to Digums ability to use it in non-libre products?  Or has Digium worked
out an agreement with Google that will give them an exclusive licence to
the code as well?
