Hi Jason,

Firstly I just have to say that we're not always fun-hating lawyers
here but we have to try and be as meticulous as possible about
preventing incorrectly-licensed data from entering OSM.

Unfortunately I must introduce you to the hilariously restrictive
terms of the Google Maps Geocoding API:

https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/geocoding/policies

"It is prohibited to use Geocoding API data on a map that is not a Google map."
"If your application displays data from the Geocoding API on a page or
view that does not also display a Google Map, you must show a Powered
by Google logo with that data."

This particular issue should be a relatively easy fix - I would
recommend re-geocoding using the OpenCage geocoder (opencagedata.com),
which should cover your usage under the free tier. The resulting data
will need to be released under a license which attributes
OpenStreetMap, however.

Cheers,
