You may be sure that such a term of service would not survive any
negotiations between Google and Wikimedia. (Note: not arguing for ads
here -- just saying that I now make a practice of removing
unreasonable terms from contracts that WMF enters into. This turns
out not to be as problematic as you might imagine, especially when the
other party wants to deal with you badly enough.)
