I share others' qualms about this... albeit personally I find Google's digitized Public Domain works being prepended with implied (albeit not explicitly made) legal threats advising against commercial use to be rather spineless, and do not view them as a white knight either.

They had a chance to help restore millions of public domain books to their rightful owners: everyone. And they stopped short of going all the way in a clean, honest, and straightforward manner. As the saying goes: Weak!
