Yes, I've seen almost exactly the same terms on several other Google products where I've looked at the Ts&Cs (not including gmail). Basically they want to own everything.

I don't see how the BSD license is remotely compatible with this either.

They're not stopping anyone downloading the source and building their own version (which you could then ship without the odious EULA); I think I'd be inclined to check the phoning-home bits of the code before doing so.

Given that the BSD license says "in source and binary forms", why is rebuilding necessary? It looks like if I download it from Google I have to accept the EULA, but if you download it and then hand me a copy I don't. Unless there's more clickwrap in the binary itself, I guess.
