I didn't know what you were talking about, so I looked it up. I guess you're referring to this:

> 5.3 You agree not to access (or attempt to access) any of the Services by any means other than through the interface that is provided by Google, unless you have been specifically allowed to do so in a separate agreement with Google. You specifically agree not to access (or attempt to access) any of the Services through any automated means (including use of scripts or web crawlers) and shall ensure that you comply with the instructions set out in any robots.txt file present on the Services.

Yeah, sorry about that, I guess that would have made my comment a little less worthless. My interpretation of that clause includes tools such as this, and though it is hardly some gross violation, I do find it amusing.

I know Selenium RC does the same thing in sample scripts for some of its bindings, and I'm pretty sure I've seen it in other tools as well.
