I don't see what they know that Google doesn't. Google certainly has no shortage of people familiar with symbolic natural language processing methods. It's not like Google hasn't read the major papers and books in that field. If the Xerox technology Powerset licensed has been published anywhere, Peter Norvig and lots of other people there have almost certainly read it very carefully.

And the very least it will do is keep google on its toes, which is good.
