After a quick reading, it seems that this licence is a BSD licence, so 
class A and compatible with the ASF policy
 
Best,

    Requesting a quick clarification from the legal list. It is thought
    that the Google license being
    a basic BSD is a class one license for Apache.

    Can we confirm that we can use the license below (from Google) in an
    Apache project.

    thanks
    Carl.
