Why would they? From the GSoC FAQ:
1. Who owns the code produced by student developers?
Each student (or her/his mentoring organization) must license all 
student Google Summer of Code code under an Open Source Initiative 
approved license palatable to the mentoring organization. Some 
organizations will require students to assign copyright to them, but 
many will allow them to retain copyright. If Google is a student's 
sponsoring organization, then the student keeps copyright to her/his 
code.
The Google blanket agreement only applies to Google employees (which
quite a number of core contributors are).
