That sounds like an additional freedom (to Google), rather than a
restriction. Just because Google can license it under something else
doesn't mean we can't continue to use it under the original license.
Technically it's not a restriction, right, rather it's a caution about
being aware of what kinds of control you surrender when entering into
such an arrangement.
No more than the rights you surrender when licensing your work under
CC-BY (especially in states where attribution is a right that can't be
surrendered).
