Intellectual Property Rights clarification

In the Rules section, what does the following line mean?

"Further, the entrant agrees that if any portion of the Entry should be deemed to be owned by the entrant that (s)he will, as a condition of entry, grant Google a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, and non-exclusive license to use, reproduce, publicly perform, publicly display and create a derivative work from, any Entry that entrant submits solely for the purposes of allowing Google to test and evaluate the Entry for purposes of the Contest and to advertise, display, demonstrate, or otherwise promote the Contest."

In particular, does this imply that Google will have perpetual rights to use any and all ideas pertaining to an entry, within their own products (without attribution, etc.)?
