As I said, the problem is NOT the TOS. You can absolutely sent the GitHub URL for the HTTP_REFERER header. Non-web applications do this sort of thing all the time. However, as I said, the bigger problem is that you MUST be able to access Google's servers from your network. You indicated that the referer would be localhost or 192.168.*.*. This would indicate that you're expecting the API to work without outside access. That simply won't work.
