No I think the author works at Google and have a couple of hours weekly or monthly to do "experiments", but the employment terms forces the ownership of the "experiments" to Google but since the projects may not align with Googles image or reputation they wish not to be officially associated with it. They own it but do not "stand behind it" officially
