From the FAQ/Policy page [1]:

"Q: Can I run a server from my home? A: Our Terms of Service prohibit running a server. However, use of applications such as multi-player gaming, video-conferencing, home security and others which may include server capabilities but are being used for legal and non-commercial purposes are acceptable and encouraged."

There's more in the TOS and in the privacy policy section that people would consider offensive consenting with. Well, those that are informed, know that google works straight for the DoD, since its inception.

Many apps have a server component. eg VOIP clients. Why are mail and http singled out? Free ports 25 and 80!

Not enough people care about stuff like this for someone with enough money to set a big ISP to care.
