I can't exactly follow the logic. You said google doesn't want you to
use their site. In fact i doubt that's true. They don't care if you
use their site or not; they implemented that "restriction" solely to
make some US jerks happy and to not have any problems with their
inappropriate legislation. Also you should note that google is not a
person, it's a large corporation functioning in a complex
international environment. So even if they say they're prohibiting
something it doesn't mean they actually do (and in fact they can't)
and/or want it.

I hope someone more skilled in Islam than me can clarify this matter
from a religious POV but judging on common grounds it's perfectly
moral to circumvent an artificial restriction especially given that
restricting anybody is not intended.


In simple words Google cannot give you something directly and you have 
to get it through the third party because the first party wants to 
give it to you while an /influential/ body above google is just 
creating hurdles due to its own interests. So I guess there is no 
moral issue to get it through a third party and Google has no benefit 
in restricting it, infact it is going against their interest 
considering the matter at hand.
and from the view of the license GPL, it is explicitely allowed to use 
and modify this code.
