Come to think of it, it probably doesn't (emphasis added):

   Under terms of the agreement, OCLC member libraries participating in
   the Google Book Searchâ„¢ program... may share their WorldCat-derived
   MARC records /with Google/ to better facilitate discovery of library
   collections through Google.
   <http://www.oclc.org/us/en/news/releases/200811.htm>

I had conveniently forgotten the "with Google" part of the sentence
when thinking about what you were making available through the OAI-PMH
interface.
