It looks like Google owns the project and that, to contribute, you have to turn over copyrights [0]. I think the ownership makes it "by Google" more than employing the main dev.
That's common to most projects released by Googlers. Options are either a getting the IP officially assigned over to yourself or releasing it under a Google copyright with a CLA: https://opensource.google.com/docs/creating/
The latter is lower friction, in my opinion.
This is especially common for "personal" projects that people end up working on or using on the clock.
I don't know if this was the case with Cue specifically (this is the first I've heard of the project, but less boilerplate in my JSON has some appeal).
