When you upload or otherwise submit content to our Services, you give Google (and those we work with) a worldwide license to use, host, store, reproduce, modify, create derivative works (such as those resulting from translations, adaptations or other changes we make so that your content works better with our Services), communicate, publish, publicly perform, publicly display and distribute such content. The rights you grant in this license are for the limited purpose of operating, promoting, and improving our Services, and to develop new ones.
IANAL, but I don't think that includes a right to sell (sub-license) your content.
Yup, this came up during the uproar when Google changed their privacy policy earlier this year. IIRC this language is needed to let them share your data across services. e.g. showing your profile photo as part of their social search results might quality as "publicly display".
Google's current privacy policy includes the statement:
"We believe personal information should not be held hostage and we are committed to building products that let users export their personal information to other services. We don’t sell users’ personal information."
