I'm pretty sure all the books Google has for "full view" and download are scans of works now in the public domain. If you mean the license / "usage guidelines" Google slaps on the beginning of the downloadable PDFs then yeah: they own the copyright on the electronic version they're providing even if the source p-book in the public domain -- I believe, but IANAL, etc.

For reading them on your device, try searching here for "PDF rasterizer," "PDF rasterizing," etc. There are several such tools, at least some of which can produce Mobipocket books IIRC.
