[Web4lib] Lack of discussion of Google CSE and Libraries

[Walter Lewis]

I was intrigued by the enthusiasm for CSE until I read the Terms of 
Service at:
    http://www.google.com/coop/docs/cse/tos.html

and in particular:
*    "1.5 Exclusivity.* You agree that, during the Term, Google will be 
the exclusive provider of Internet search services on the Site. You 
further understand that Google will provide the Service on a 
nonexclusive basis, and that Google will continue to customize and 
provide its services to other parties for use in connection with a 
variety of applications, including search engine applications."

Site is defined but I couldn't see something that explained "Internet 
search services."

I certainly provide other internet accessible search services, including 
services that search domains not my own. Does that mean that I can't use 
GoogleCSE?
