Actually, this is nothing new, and I've been saying it for years. Alex simply took the opportunity to provide an official statement on DSLReports. There is so much indignant, opinionated BS on that forum from a few members, especially them endlessly harping on an inaccurate comment posted months ago by a Google Voice employee, that it's worth clarifying. The Terms of Use and Acceptable Use Policy haven't changed in years. Google Voice is not some GPL open source freebie service. It belongs to Google, and Google is a business, that can define its own terms. Nobody can claim entitlement to use the service.
