It is the same for public google docs documents. While I understand the rationale (logging in usually gives you more actions on the resources you see, in this case the option to copy the document to your account), making this explicit and providing a "proceed without login" button wouldn't have hurt - not doing this shows that the real motivation seems to be to get people to log in as often and long as possible to get better data tracking (on the other hand, if you have a google cookie, the tracked data will be high quality anyway).
