The problem isn't the TOS. The Feeds API can't be utilized strictly on an internal network or standalone machine. It requires the ability to contact Google's servers, which actually fetch and parse the feed before returning it to the client. In such an application, your http_referer header - if you choose to send one - should point to a public webpage that provides a bit of information about your application, including your contact information in case Google needs to contact you. Google will get the IP address of your network gateway in the request.
