    Me neither, but I thought that these were terms imposed on the
    _developer_ writing an application that makes use of the APIs, not on
    the people who might use that application.

I see no basis for Google to impose any requirements on the author or
distributor of a program merely because that program is capable
of communicating through the API.

    If you are writing code to use someone's APIs to access their
    database, it does not seem an unreasonable expectation that you should
    first check what terms those APIs and the data are made available
    under.

I don't understand the question very well.
Why should we have any expectations about that question?
And why does it matter whether we do or not?
