It seems this is what Google has done.

One of my concerns is that this license could be incompatible with GPLv2
(as the Apache is, for roughly the same reasons, or even the as the
GPLv3), and it seems that at least Richard Fontana shares the same
concern, if I am not mistaken. I must admit, I have not done a full
analysis and moreover GPLv2 is a "deprecated" license. Sorry to intrude.

With best regards,
