pre-existing work I contributed to this project remains under my copyright
contributions other people make to this project remain under their own copyrights
contributions I make to this project subsequent to November 2010 are under Google copyright
nobody should really give a shit about this because a) I freely agreed to this even though Google has a process where I could have asked to retain my own copyright because b) the code is BSD licensed and you can use it however you like regardless of who owns the copyright.
The only thing this would potentially make more difficult for me is if I wanted to re-license the code under some other terms. But I would have to obtain permission from our other contributors to do that anyways."

Seems reasonable
