I feel like intent should matter? And authority? You can't just leak information and say it's licensed now. The person who published it both didn't intend to do it and didn't have authority to release it.

Bleh, I really hate to side with Google, especially when releasing this documentation benefits users and hiding it benefits Google.
But it seems weird for this new license to be legally binding. If someone committed this to the wrong repo, and that person didn't have legal authority over the original content, then how can they have legally relicensed it?
