Well, you read one of the FAQs.  The FAQ for mentoring organizations 
says (as I quoted in my first message)

http://code.google.com/mentfaq.html#what_license_may_the_prog
  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.

I guess I read 1 more FAQ than you.  But I'm not sure how quoting a 
Google FAQ is libelous FUD.
