No. As Werner said, if Google wants him to take it down, they can ask him personally. In the meantime, the software is Free, and, as Werner said, is useful as a basis for talking to other imagery sources. Google made this last point too. For Google's purposes, taking down the primary distribution point suffices meet "due diligence", for now. There's no need for animosity here, it's all business.
