That sounds fine, and I'd hate to see those opportunities taken away.
Largely, the contractors at Google have worse pay, harder jobs, fewer benefits, and less security for what is _almost_ an ordinary full-time job. They're often angling to become full-time employees. It might be legal, and it _might_ even be ethical, but it looks at best (even to other Google employees in places like memegen) like Google is abusing a legal grey area.
