IANAL, But from the readme [1], it's Apache Licensed, so fork away - just make sure you retain their copyright notices and follow the rest of the license.

-edit- In addition, the bottom of the README which you quoted just mentions the need to sign a CLA if you want your code pushed upstream. See the FSF page about why they require copyright assignment [2] for their projects for some background.

Note that the Contributor License Agreement (CLA) and copyright assignment are rather different things. Google and the FSF have very different reasons for requiring their respective arrangements.
