I'm not quote sure why you believe that.

While using a small number of individual search results is likely OK
both in the US and EU, systematic extraction and use of specific google
search results by OSM is at least potentially problematic (and the same
goes for any other collection/database of websites). Google doesn't seem
to say anything explicit on the matter, but then I just might be missing it.
