Perhaps.
Unfortunately not :-(. Google people have made a mistake in the past -
looking for formal criteria to guarantee the openness of the initiative
they included the rule that mentoring organizations are required to
release code under the OSI [1] approved license:
"As long as your project can provide mentors and is releasing code under
an Open Source Initiative approved license" [2]
which in principle is OK, but leaves the projects releasing code as
Public Domain out of account :-(. (confirmed by Cat Allman, Open Source
Programs Office, Google, 2012-02-13).
